Tasting notes

This mature Minervois was still alive. Mature, but with no oxidation. Unfortunately not too cleanly made. Deep red colour. Brownish rim and quite transparent. Nose shows lots of citrus-notes, some spice and slight flowers. Unfortunately also a not too clean woodiness. Medium bodied wine in the mouth. Fruit is very mature, but no oxidation. Quite citrusy and refreshing with a fine spiciness. But again this not too clean style. Fine acidity and very little tannin left. A bit short on the finish. Gains a little with air.
