Wine Review Archives:
France: Languedoc-Roussillon: Dessert
($26, 500 ml). Fresh
and vibrant, with aromatic apricot, peach
and honey flavors that pick up cream and
a light spiciness through the long finish.
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine 04/08)
($26, 500 ml). An interesting VDN made
from Grenache Blanc, this offers mouthwatering
orange and apricot marmalade aromas and
flavors, along with creamy caramel, fig,
baking spices and a hint of mineral that
fold into a bright, lingering finish.
Delicious now and over the next four or
five years. (Weekend Wine 04/08)
($26, 500 ml). Quite like a young Vintage
Port in style, deeply colored and offering
rich, concentrated blackberry and red plum
flavors laced with silky chocolate and vibrant
spices that linger on the long finish. Ready
to drink now but should age beautifully
for at least ten years. (Weekend Wine 04/08)
($11, 375 ml). A pretty,
aromatic, fortified dessert wine from France's
Languedoc area, featuring waves of candied
orange zest, apricot preserves and wildflower
honey that linger on the ripe finish. A
great deal, too! Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine 06/06)
