Name Chateau D'Aussieres 2013 (ID# 2605)
Varietal Corbieres
Region France: Languedoc-Roussillon
Notes "Run by the team at Lafite, Domaine d'Aussières has turned out an incredibly classy, elegant 2013 Corbieres that checks in with the top wines of the appellation. Based off 60% Syrah, 25% Grenache and the rest Mourvèdre, aged 40% in older Lafite barrels and 60% in vats, it offers ample cassis, toasted spice, graphite and peppery herbs in a concentrated, medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced style. The tannin shows with more time in the glass, yet are ripe, polished and integrated. It’s a great drink today, yet will have a decade of longevity." (Wine Advocate)

Additional Notes

"Fresh acidity strings together the ripe blackberry, black cherry and bitter herb flavors in this supple-bodied red. Hints of smoky tar, floral and savory spice mingle on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 100 cases imported." (Wine Spectator)
