Rouge Vin de Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône Cabernet-Syrah Blend

First bottle of Trévallon in several years. Forgot how wild and exciting this can be. Blending these two varietals seems to be about creating the biggest wine possible for many producers. Not here though; brisk and energetic.

Dark fruits, some brett, pronounced scents of fresh rosemary.

Interesting Provence Rouge.

Prune, dark cherry, blackcurrant, smooth oak with star anise, licorice or cinnamon. Fun overripen characters even in young vintages, but I look forward to 5~10 years later.

celebrating best friends daughters 1st birthday.

Terrific balance with a great nose.

Another amazing High Street selection.

2nd time trying this bottle; this time to celebrate the birth of my baby boy. So delicious and soulful, lots of rustic charm. Definitely needs several hours to open up so waited til day 2 to drink most of the bottle and once again it opens up beautifully. Rich plum, tobacco, earth, gravel. Love it.

my kind of wine!! the nose is pure gravel leather & light gasoline, in a great way. palate is raw leather and dirt and gravel and earth and some lighter cassis and jam/jelly notes. a super enjoyable wine and a great long leathery finish.

Awesome
