Producer: Cave de Tain
Selection: Tesco
Varietal: Red, Syrah
Vintage: 2007
Volume: 12.5%
Price: w20, 000 (on sale)
Taste: "Robust and rich"
Notes: Musty, animal proteins, irises. Maybe jasmine. Meat curing in a cave. Drinks like a bottle that cost twice the price. The Rhone valley is one of those regions that never fails to produce surprisingly good wine at affordable prices. Its a go-to region if you are on a budget but want a wine that won't disappoint. And that is what its all about for me.
Music: Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore
Food: I had this with black olives and Jamón ibérico. It was one of those lucky guesses that make other people think you know what the fuck you are doing. Perfect match.
