Chapoutier Bila Haut Cotes du Roussillon Villages 2008 - $13



David: Color is medium purple. Interesting nose of red currants, a bready pastry aroma and some crush rock minerality. A tiny bit of balsamic vinegar with cracked pepper. Medium bodied with low acidity. Blueberry and cherry fruit is somewhat muted and turns into pepper with firm but soft tannins. Finishes with stale black liquorish, pepper and some bitterness. An interesting wine and quite different from the usual fruit-bomb variety.
Score: 3.9/5
