european wine with robert n from garco

Val de L'Ours 2008 Vin d' pay cab and syrah blend... just goes to show you are influenced by what you eat.. having just finished a light salad with mango this wine did not show well. very astingent. not a lot on the nose either... a little barnyard to prove its french.

Ludavicus 2008 D.O. Terra Alta grenache/syrah/temp from a region near Priorat off the Mediterranean coast. clean sexy label and the wine shows the same... clean on the palate.. a bit offputting early nose of iodine and "Off" bug spray but that goes away quickly and you have really nice fruit concentration and long lasting flavors. will be in the corner
