title: Lafage 2005 Les Onze Terrasses Red (Côtes du Roussillon Les Aspres)
description: This blend of 85% Syrah, 10% Grenache and 5% Carignan is aging beautifully, and still shows great life ahead. Spice and toasted-oak notes are front and center, with supporting aromas and flavors of dense black-fruit preserves, crushed violet and cocoa powder. The texture is still firm and tight, with slightly chewy tannins and a long, earth- and wood-flavored finish.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
