Domaine de Saint Guilhem Amadeus 2004, A.C. Fronton. **HERITAGE WINE**
Color: very dark red with just a bit of purple.
Nose:
very expressive, beautiful rich and complex with a myriad of ripe,
sweet and exotic fruit reminding of sweet cherry, blueberry, a whiff of
spicy muscat, many balsamic nuances, earth, spices (pepper), great
depth and complexity, unique aromatic spectrum, pure and impressive,
almost mysterious, multi faceted. Excellent.
Taste:
medium bodied, compact, very intense, powerful, strong tannins and
acidity, lots of sweetish extract (but still dry), many nuances of
spices (pepper), earthy, balsamic, and again, with loads of that
beautiful exotic and ripe fruit supplemented by an invigorating
acidity, minerals, very pure and singular style with good
complexity and depth. Excellent balance and very strong expression of
terroir.
Finish:
long, strong, intense, fresh, with beautiful fruit, some
rustic tannins, many earthy, spicy and balsamic nuances, some
minerals and very clean.
- Drink this wine now and over the next years. I do not know how it will develop, but the constitution of the wine suggests it will not fade away quickly. It will become more complex and maybe a bit softer, but certainly also more spicy and earthy. Will keep until 2012, maybe well beyond this date.
