2005 Domaine Les Hautes Cances Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne Tradition – France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne (6/15/2008)
Meaty, manly nose. Black fruit, spices, kirsch, leather, meat and refreshing acidity on the palate. Needs some time to express itself fully. The second day this hadn’t moved at all. The third day there was more (black berry) fruit on the nose, intermingled with dark fruit syrup and exotic spice. On the palate the fruit was already more prominent, intermingled with spices, pepper and kirsch. This clearly needs some additional bottle ageing to fully express itself. Good qpr. (89 pts.)
