'05 Maison du Midi, Plan de Dieu, Cote du Rhone


Oh my. Also old vine Granache but instead of Spanish--French. Dense, but not as fruit forward as you would expect from Spain. It is earthy and wonderfully leathery and firmly tannic. Perfect for drinking with beef. It drinks like a $40 Gigondas rather than a $19 Cotes du Rhone. The Wine Advocate gave it 90 points--it deserves every one.
