| Notes from the estate:
On the nose, it is delicate and powerful - reminiscent of red fruits marinated in alcohol. On the palate, it is fresh and aromatic, with an aftertaste of milk chocolate.
Additional comments:
Look – Dark and concentrated dark purple with an inky and dark core and color that fades just slightly to garnet along the edges. When swirled, a ring of color clings to the edge of the glass, gathering, then streaking down into fast thin legs.
Smell – Initially a little tight on the nose, but when you give this wine time, aromas of sweet, fresh and ripe fruit, including red cherry and blackberry emerge framed with spice, a touch of oak and floral notes and hints of black licorice.
Feel – This full-bodied and dry wine has an exceptional structure with finely etched firm tannins, a solid mineral character, a spicy kick and bright acidity that buttresses the flavors of this wine through to the finish.
Taste – Classic rich Cabernet and bold Syrah flavors presented with elegant old-world character. Fresh, pure and tart fruit including red cherry and blackberry with complex earthy wild bramble notes, spice, white pepper and a touch of oak and licorice.
Finish – This wine’s dry and fine grained tannins linger long into the finish providing solid texture for the lasting ripe and tart fruit, spice and minerality.
Conclusion – The 2003 Domaine Trévallon Vin De Pays Des Bouches Du Rhone Rouge doesn’t disappoint. From a unique vintage, comes a most unique wine. Simply stated, if you are a lover of French wine, this one belongs in your cellar. This serious wine is just now starting to show its potential, and perhaps it’s still too young, this wine’s old-world character and its out of the box varietal blending gives you a wine of great depth, power and finesse. Drink now or hold for up to 10+ years. Wine Spies
