Domaine La Collière, Cuvée « Esprits d’argiles » 2019, Rasteau

Ruby colour with a subtle orange hue. Powerful nose of blood orange, blackberries and raspberries. The palate mirrors these aromas, adding a hint of roasted hazelnuts which tend to become fuller as the wine progresses on the palate. The tannins are light, but offer a fine relief that is much appreciated. The intensity picks up nicely on the finish, with a subtle sapid character that is exciting and contrasts particularly well with the hint of liquorice that is growing constantly. A hint of coffee emerges afterwards, and we can imagine it developing nicely over the years.
