2013 Domaine Les Aphillanthes Cotes du Rhone

Opaque dark red black colour with a dark red hue. The nose is led by scents of ripe black cherries and dark raspberries followed by some liquorice, incense and spice. The palate has surprisingly good weight and richness for an entry level Cotes du Rhone featuring flavours of black raspberries, liquorice and incense infusions over a touch of meatiness with a very spicy finish. Very fine grained, velvet like tannins. Medium to long aftertaste of spicy black raspberries, liquorice, incense infusions and pepper. A great value Rhone that’s spicy and almost juicy like in nature.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc 14.5%
