Tasting - Château Serres Sainte Lucie Corbières




Name
: Château Serres Sainte Lucie Corbières
Variety: Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre
Region: Corbières
Country: France
Year: Non-vintage
Price: $4.95

Vintage Cellar Review:Superb dark garnet color with a few reflections of dark orange.
Intense nose of ripe fruits, spices, and roasted coffee. The palate is
rounded and full, with silky matured tannins and hints of vanilla.
This wine is rich and powerful with layers of tannins.

My Review: On the nose, this wine smelled like grape jelly with some strawberries. On the palate, this wine was very well-balanced for having 14% alcohol. It was very smooth and rich, probably having gone through a malolactic fermentation. It had red fruit flavor blend well with grape. For a red wine, it was much more fruity than vegetal, which I really appreciated. I would definitely have this wine again. In fact, I bought a bottle of it for myself after the tasting.
I did not have any food with this wine.
