2020 Domaine Ilarria Irouleguy Rosé $156 6pack
“One
of my absolute favorite roses. A gorgeous wine that will age
beautifully, contrary to the notion that Roses wither and die after
Labor Day.” — Asimov, NYT July 1, 2021
A blend of 70% Tannat and 30% Cabernet Franc From
schist soils. Lighter, cherry and pomegranate color. Vinous, gently
earthy and gently smoky nose. The palate is bone dry and full of texture
and flavor, But there is tannin here, grippy and very dry, little
glimpses of roses and red liquorice, a powerful. Very much a food wine
this, weight and power despite the low alcohol. Fascinating.
