2015 Paul Jaboulet Aine Parallele 45 Cotes Du Rhone

The name for this wine originates from the 45th North parallel, which runs two kilometres from the domaine’s cellars near Tain L’Hermitage. Sourced from vines that are 40+ years old on average it is made from a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah and is aged in a mix of large older barrels (20%) and stainless steel tanks (80%).

The dark red black tinged core shows good depth with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated ripe black cherry, black raspberry and liquorice scents are trailed by earthy incense characters and pepper. Medium bodied, generous black cherry and liquorice flavours sit over scorched earth, infusions of incense and spicy pepper characters. Dryish finish with slightly chewy but ripe tannins. Aftertaste of peppered black cherries and liquorice, scorched earthy incense and spice.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc. 14%
