| 2013 Domaine Lafage Tessallae Carignan Vielles Vignes Côtes Catalanes, France WB Rating: 89 Alcohol by volume: 14.5% Price at time of purchase: $11.99 (K&L) Type: Rhone-style Red Principal varietal(s): Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre As with the Dom. Lafage Centennaire white, the Tessallae red is an astonishingly good bargain at $12. Lots of energy and flavor interest in this youthful red. Deep plum color, melange of flavors - cherry, plum, kirsch liqueur, vanilla, white pepper. Came across like a mix of top-flight Beaujolais with Zinfandel and Syrah. Rich, palate-caressing texture and excellent balance. - HK 2015-09-02 [Back] |
