title: Gérard Bertrand 2005 Le Viala Red (Minervois La Liviniere)
description: Dark and concentrated, with aromas of kirsch, blackberry, carnation, sage and menthol. The medium weight mouthfeel shares the same flavors as the nose, but are supported by notes of mocha and sousbois. Needs some time to open up in the glass if enjoyed now; otherwise, hold until 2010–2012.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Le Viala
