Domaine de la Garrigue 2004

The first note on the nose of this entirely dry wine is spice-black pepper-quickly followed by the rosemary, thyme, and some real Mediterranean laurel (bay leaf). The fruit is a complex mix of black berries, cherries and cassis, though on the finish

a concentrated red cherry fruit that has been waiting in the wings all along sees things through, carried by firm tannins.
