Marengos property

pepper and gamy

an amalgam of ripe black fruits

If it is not quite as tightly wound as in some years

the 2008 is medium to full-bodied

Alain Voge, Cornas Vv other_regions Marengos propertyInky violet color. Intensely perfumed aromas of ripe black blue fruits, exotic spices, potpourri and olive are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, offering alluringly sweet blueberry and cherry preserve flavors along with hints of licorice and candied flowers. The floral and spice qualities repeat emphatically on an impressively long, energetic finish that features well knit tannins and a resonating mineral note.
