Domaine de La Réserve d’O – 2020, Terrasses de Larzac

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose has a medium (+) intensity and a nice complexity. It expresses the aromas of tangy black berries (wild blackberry, blueberry, Morello cherry) and sweet red berries (red cherry, crushed strawberry, raspberry coulis). There are also sweet spices (cinnamon, liquorice, a hint of anise, and a slight touch of vanilla), white pepper, and fresh herbs (peppermint, rosemary) with a very fine note of pine sap and blackcurrant bud. On the palate, there are precision and tension. The flavors are expressive and complex, with a bouquet of fresh red and black fruit (cherry bigarreau, cranberries, redcurrant, raspberry, blueberry), herbaceous (rosemary sprig, thyme), smoky and spicy (licorice, clove) touches. , White pepper). The tannins are enveloping, a little tight, of a medium (+) level. The wine is full-bodied but refreshed by the high, lively acidity. A beautiful concentration, richness, and energy, with a good balance between a tight structure and roundness.
