Nice Relaxing Wine

Paul Jaboulet Aine, Parallele 45, Cotes du Rhone, 2007, Tain L'Hermitage, France.

This wine is a blend of Grenache and Syrah. The nose is full of soft, sweet raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. There is also some bramble fruit and aromas of hedgerows with some hints of olive. The palate is smooth with soft tannins. This is definitely ready to drink now. There is good balance and savouriness to this wine. There are some dustings of white pepper. Nice wine, good for having around the house to relax and watch TV with. 3/5 (14% abv) £8.99 Waitrose Wine.
