Pulling from the dusty, hodgepodge section of the cellar tonight. Tribouley’s 2007 l’Alba is comprised of 60% Carignan and equal parts Grenache and Syrah from 35 to 70 year old vines in Latour de France village of Roussillon. Brett-tinged, with cranberry and wild raspberry, licorice, truffle, lavender, and underbrush, with fresh cracked pepper. Secondary notes of earth, tobacco, and olive, make up the gamy nuance that pervades the background. Killer juice.
