FONDRECHE 2007 PERSIA COTES DU VENTOUX

  

From Wine Advocate: A blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre, the 2007 Cotes du Ventoux Persia is the only wine in this portfolio that sees 100% new oak. It offers beautiful notes of blackberries, melted asphalt, black truffles, and a hint of spring flowers. Elegant yet substantial, full-bodied, deep, and pure with sweet tannin, it is the exception to the rule concerning the ability of Cotes du Ventoux to age. It will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age, and should last for two decades thereafter.
