Cuvée Noémie Costières de Nîmes Red Rhone Blend

N: chocolate cake, vanilla, toasted almond, cherry. P: warm, medium tannin, chocolate cake with vanilla icing, slight acid. M/3/M

Light crisp and refreshing raspberry / strawberry red. Good oak and a balanced finish.

Can't tell how much I like this wine. Big oak. Fruit. Some spice. Some alcohol heat. No earth.

Tannic on the nose. Bright with a caramel finish.

Chocolate and cherry cake with the French vanilla icing spread a bit thick. Some goodness in there but buried in the barrel.

Yum. Old French house feel to it
