The slightly acidic 1999 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet offers aromas of blackberry/cassis fruit infused with licorice, medium to full body, and noticeable Mourvedre (leather, tree bark, and spice notes). This supple 1999 is a candidate for 10-15 years of cellaring. It is a blend of 30% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Cinsault, all aged in foudre prior to being bottled unfiltered.
