The 2007 Rasteau A La Gloire de Mon Pere, a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre from the oldest vines of the estate, is a broader, deeper, richer wine. Full-bodied, still a little tight, but bursting with potential, plenty of explosive red and black fruits intermixed with licorice, incense, lavender, and some chocolate and pepper are all present in this wine, which displays terrific purity, full-bodied texture, and a long finish. It should drink well for 7-8 years, possibly longer.
These are all very impressive wines from Rasteau from a very good domaine.
