Sweet Clementine 2010: 93
97% grenache and 3% syrah, all late-harvested: Opaque ruby.Heady, seductive aromas of red and dark berry preserves, fruitcake and floral oils, with a hint of molasses. Velvety and seamless, coating the palate with intense raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Clings with superb intensity on the finish, which strongly echoes the floral note. An outstanding sweet wine that would be great alongside a blue cows' milk cheese. |
