Mas Amiel Grenache Blend Côtes du Roussillon le Plaisir 2009

Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:

A deeply figgy nose with tons of candied notes, cocoa, mace, and maple syrup. Nuanced in the mouth, moderatley sweet with notes of plummy fruit and sweet pipe tobacco, round and soft and a touch not. the finish is a bit short with a subtle burnt nut/brittle note, some pruniness, and hints of spicy toffee and citrus peel.

100% Grenache and very dry. This is definitely a red wine lover's rose. Not a lot of fruit on the palate at all (rather, more minerality), though the nose is nicely fragrant of strawberry and raspberry.

Quite brown but has deeper colour than the 10 year-old, cocoa and dried liquorice on the nose with intricate cheesy Madeira-like nose; still has chunky tannins and nice oomph vs lush sweet liquorice fruit then meaty spicy undertones; very alive still and very long, tasty maturing finish. Excellent. €45 93-95 More Amiel wine reviews and profile @ www.winewriting.com/WineWriting%20subspages.htm#RWS

Schmackhafter, cremig weicher, saftiger Gaumenfluss, zeigt sich in der Aromatik wie auch in der Struktur von der eleganten Seite, sehr nobler, leichtfüssiger Wein, vereint dezente Süsse mit nobler Rasse; eigentlich ist das ein Wein, den man eher in einem nördlichen Anbaugebiet vermuten würde, da kommt alles wunderschön schlank daher, alles ist dezent, die Süsse, die Säure, die Frucht und die Opulenz, bei der sich am Schluss noch ein betörender Hauch Honig mit ins Spiel bringt und eine reizvoll salzige Komponente.
