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) |
