2006 Garcin Lirac Cuvée Nathalie

2006 Garcin Lirac Cuvée Nathalie – France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Lirac (10/17/2009)
Dark fruits, black coffee and a whiff of cherry liqueur on the restrained nose. On the palate sweet and sour cherries, cherry stones, sweet spices, refreshing acidity and a hint of espresso coffee. In the aftertaste a slight taste of burning alcohol. Already delicious, but with a few additional months of bottle age this could become even better. Quite a nice effort at the price level (about 14 euros). (89 pts.)
