Chateau de Lancyre 2003 Grande Cuvée Pic Saint Loup Red (Coteaux du Languedoc)
- $30
Densely structured and packed with great ripe fruits, this is a fine wine dominated by black fruit. From the 190-acre estate owned by the Valentin and Durand families, it has solidity, depth and some acidity. The finish is minty and herbal, with a hint of bitter chocolate.
