Domaine des Vieilles Caves – La Roche – AOC Moulin-à-Vent 2022

The wine has a beautiful deep cherry color. The nose is fresh and woody with notes of toast and cold charcoal. There are also black fruits. The second nose opens with the same smoky, black, toasted note. There are also hints of cherry and stewed blackberry. The palate is fresh with an initial note of toast, cooked fruit, and vanilla. It’s almost leathery, almost sweet spices like cinnamon, almost barbecue. The tannins are present with a hint of salt. They persist until the finish. The end of the tasting is still on the barbecue and its sauce, stewed black cherry, and grilled blackberry.
