March-2009

The fantastic 2006 Domaine des Escaravailles Côtes du Rhône Villages Rasteau Heritage 1924 is slightly more restrained than the ‘07, possessing deep, rich aromatics of licorice infused black cherry, hot stones, flowers, graphite and subtle meaty notes along with notable purity, finesse and subtlety. The palate is full bodied and possesses a drop dead gorgeous, silky, seamless texture that offers up a level of refinement that’s hard to come by from the south of France. Beautifully balanced and polished, this picks up fine grained tannins on the long, persistent finish and should drink well for some time.
