title: Château Maris 2005 Old Vine Syrah (Minervois La Liviniere)
description: A touch funky and green at first, that soon blows off to reveal a dark and wonderfully concentrated wine that shows some serious promise with age. Cassis, plum, black cherry, spice and tobacco fill the palate, with a long, smoky finish sealing the deal. Drink after 2010. Imported by The Portfolio Group.
variety: Syrah
designation: Old Vine
