Mas de Daumas Gassac

A radiantly fresh aroma: sour cherry, plum, dark chocolate, thyme, juniper and garrigue. The palate is soft and almost oily, developing a very dense, sandy to fine-grained tannin on this background. It builds up a firm extract tension, then dissolves in a juicy, fine-nerved manner and finally - accompanied by intense tactile-mineral perceptions - finishes compactly.

A well-crafted, lively, layered and flavorful blend of 76% cabernet sauvignon, 5% tannat, 4% merlot, 4% pinot noir, 4% petit verdot, 4% syrah and 3% cabernet franc. On the nose aromas of cherries, warm herbs, forest berries, straw, bark, earth and some dried mushroom. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Precise and well driven with such succulence to the center, thanks to bright acidity and purity of fruit. Refined and transparent. Long finish. Drink or hold.
