Château Cesseras Minervois-La Livinière Vieilles Vignes

On the nose: dominant smoky notes, smoked ribs, smoke, coffee, mushroom, leather. Despite its young age, tertiary aromas have developed — animal notes outweigh the fruitiness. On the palate: pleasant fruitiness, milky coffee, sweet smoky meat notes are delightful. Medium body, long finish. Nice lingering aromas on the finish. Strong grilled aromas. Suitable for drinking on its own, with good aging potential. Bought for around €12 — excellent value for money.
