Château La Bastide rouge 2000, A.C. Corbières.
Colour:
medium deep red with some purple.
Nose:
warm, with herbs, some spices and some ripe fruit (strawberry, cherry,
cassis) touches of raisins and a nice freshness. Not complex or deep, but
clear and attractive.
Taste:
fresh and also warm, ripe fruit, spices, some laurel, medium bodied and
medium powerful, some alcohol, earthy nuances, enough succulence to balance
the tannins and acidity. Nice mouth feel.
Finish:
not very long, fresh and clean, good fruit, spices, some young tannins.
* A good, sound and attractive Corbières from a serious producer (Languedoc-Roussillon). Well made wine, easy to drink, offering interesting impressions of fruit en herbs, clean and fresh, very drinkable and not tiring or heavy . Makes you reach for a second glass.
- Very good drinking now, will probably keep for a few years, but might lose its attractive fruit in a few years. I doubt if the structure of this wines permits cellaring.
- Good and very honest example of Corbières, not coarse or heavy as so many Corbières.
