Domaine Rocher Cairanne

2009, 2010 Cotes du Rhones; 5/24/2014-5/25/2014 : Coravin'd for 2 hours. Dark with thin clear rim. Deep and brooding nose with black fruit, licorice and leather. Bright and juicy palate impression showing flavors of black licorice, roasted spices framed by decent acidity and firm tannins. While enjoyable now, this could use some more time in the cellar. 89 points for now with a possible uptick of a point or two down the road. Drink 2015 to 2018.
