Very spiritual NC / SAS
Spiritual wine without adding sulfur to a high phenolic maturity. You can find gas in wine. The tannins are fine and always powerful middle.
Grande Signature lot 2008 Domaine Rapatel ***
Slightly evolved golden colour, its discreet nose gives off aromas
of jammy quince and anis. The attack is unctuous, the evolution ample,
concentrated and long with a saline retro-olfaction that is very long.
This spiritual wine without added sulphur is powerful, complex and
very saline. It would be a perfect accompaniment for bouillabaisse,
for example.

Inky in colour, the nose is discreet with blackcurrant cream and eaude-
vie fruits. The attack is unctuous, the evolution, thanks to gas, is elegant,
meaty and semi-long. The finish is fresh with a complex mineral
and spice retro-olfaction. This masculine wine is full of freshness and
is pleasant to drink now. I suggest you decant it or you can also lay
it down for a few years.
