Domaine Le Bout du Monde
L'echappée belle Rouge Syrah
Languedoc Roussillon, France
Man. Struggled through this bottle. Started off promising but quickly went downhill. VERY unfiltered, as easily seen by the dark, non-evenly distributed clouds that swirled in the glass. I’m getting weary of natural wines lately and this is a good reminder of why. I didn’t get the normal Brettanomyces funk of most natural wines, just an odd/off cherry aroma and some indecipherable floral scents. Candy flavors and a tart-iness that stung my tongue a bit. Jill couldn’t finish her glass, but i powered through two more before giving up.

Syrupy damsons. Booze hit too; this was a 2012 at 13.5% - looks like some years were a little weaker. Just got a free glug of the end of the bottle cos they're nice like that here. And I probably looked like I needed it. Just been on the phone to my mum.
