Dom de la Maurelle, Gigondas, 2010
Thursday, August 23rd, 2012
Rich and spicy with an attractive, but rough, edge. In musical terms, a Victoria Beckham wine.
Tastewise, imagine biting into an olive and finding a pimiento, only substitute a plum and a beetroot respectively.
I last visited this southern Rhone appellation in 2010, a scorching summer as I recall, so no surprise that  this wine, from the same year, is as Hot as Chocolate, Earthier than Kitt, and more tannic than a cup of tea drunk in a tannery…
Stumble It!
