Tasting Notes

Looking at their Mourvedre-dominated cuvee (roughly 80% Mourvedre and 20% Grenache with the Mourvedre aged in new barrels and the Grenache in tank), the 2011 Coteaux du Languedoc Saint Drezery Bosc Negre (which translates to "Black Wood" and named after the woods located near the vineyard) is an inky-colored, big and structured effort that will require another year or two in bottle to become civilized. Assorted dark fruits, mineral, earth, violets and chocolate nuances are the core, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, fabulous mid-palate depth and serious structure that emerges on the finish. There-s still some oak to integrate as well, so give it another year or three, and plan on consuming bottles over the following decade or more.
