Le Petiole Ventoux Rouge AOC 2010 (France)

Nose:  Smooth, light on the nose.  Sweet with some kind of berry.

Taste:  Hint of sweetness on first taste, but with a sharp tang.  Cherry, perhaps?

Finish:  Super-light on the end, almost zero.  This is particularly the case at first, though it seems to increase as time goes on.

What they say:  Ripe cherry aromas and delicious scent of crushed mulberry and black current.  Warm spices and long, elegant finish.

What we say:  V - "A simple wine that does its thing"  S - "Perhaps a bit boring."  "Almost a hint of flavour  but it disappears before it can evolve into anything."  "Might be ok with cheese in that it is so mild that if you had a strong cheese it could counterbalance it nicely."

Rating:  4.5 (S - 4; V - 5)
