Reserve De Gassac 2008

This blend of Cab Sav, Merlot and Syrah from Vin de Pays l'Herault in Languedoc opened to a slightly volatile bouquet of blackberry, black cherry, spice, raspberry and a touch of barnyard. The palate followed but did settle down to reveal the 3 grape varieties, which were a touch dis-integrated but rich. Weight was generous and finish dry. Quite a fruit driven wine which definitely needs a good decant before serving. Quite cheap at $10.
50+4+12+15+7 = 88/100
