2004 Domaine Les Hautes Cances Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne Vieilles Vignes – France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne (6/13/2008)
Stable aroma’s, pepper and black fruit on the expressive nose. Balanced, almost Chateauneuf-like palate with expressive, mouth coating black fruit, balancing acidity, pepper, kirsch, leather and sweet, still somewhat biting tannins. Rather long aftertaste. Surprisingly good at the price level; good qpr. Accessible, but can withstand some bottle age. I put a bit away in the fridge for two days and it hadn’t deteriorated. (91 pts.)
