1999 Chateau Mattes Sabran Corbieres Le Clos Redon Corbieres, Languedoc-Roussillon, France WB Rating: 86 Alcohol by volume: 13.0% Price at time of purchase: $10.00 (North Berkeley Wine Imports, among others) Type: Languedoc Principal varietal(s): Blend, but mostly Syrah Opaque, deep purple color, as if made from Alicante Bouschet, though it's actually mainly Syrah. A little chunky and not particularly layered or complex, but packed with black pepper, blackberries, dark cherries, and Provencal herbs. Still a bit tannic but already fun to drink because of its intriguing flavors and good extraction and intensity. Good buy. - HK 2001-03-05 [Back] |
