This Languedoc wine dark and rich looking with dark rich bouquet of fresh grapes with a nose that is nearly inky with sweet notes of cedar–unique!

In the mouth though–on opening–the wine is too tart with bready flavors and puckery tannins with tight fruit. I will decant that wine.

After an hour or so the wine is still too tart with chewy tannins and still closed. I believe that the wine needs more age. After 2 hours of breathing

the wine is changing and is much more relaxed all around. Bottom line is that I think that wine has a problem but is still really young. I paid $16 for that wine and typically a Languedoc should be ready by now. whether you are a gambler, lay one down and try it in 2 years, you just might find a winner.
