Mas de la Barben La Danseuse 2003
(6 months ago) buddy icon aisha2 88.0/100
Color: Purple with reddish brown hues. Nose: At first very tight and young, giving way to strawberry jam and tobacco. Fruit preserves. Pepperiness--including peppercorns and bell pepper. Some stones and a hint of orange peel and marmalade developing as it breathes... Palate: Nice and smooth up front...approachable. Strawberry jam and black peppercorns. Really dry and tannic back palate with the feeling of citrus rind--orange and grapefruit rind. Medium-long finish.

Color: Purple with a splash of red and brown. Smell: Nice mixture of spice (nutmeg and cinnamon) watered down fruit punch Taste: good fruit up front mid pallet is almost non existent but a very good coco and peppercorn finish and strong tannins that stick with you for a while.

Dull dark red in color. Vegetable odors-- carrots, allspice, tobacco. Sort of a high-pitched sweetness on the nose--like industrial cleaner or cheap port wine. Almost, but not quite, cloying. Medium body, light bitter tannins.

Nice. This wine was smooth and easy to drink. Not terribly fruity - I mostly got pepper and a hint of strawberry on the nose. strawberry repeats in the flavor profile, along with some real earthiness. I wouldn't run out to buy it again right away but I'd keep it in mind. It was definitely good to try.
