Domaine du Vieux Relais Cuvée Tradition 2000

Domaine du Vieux Relais Costières de Nimes Cuvée Tradition 2000: A 50/50 blend of Syrah and Grenache. A moderate depth of colour at best, with an oxblood hue. A sweet, herby, cherry, raspberry and blackberry nose, which is largely thanks to the Grenache in this blend. On the lighter side of medium bodied on the palate, with more sweet herby fruit, slightly dry, chalky tannins and decent acidity. A touch rustic. A pleasant, old-style everyday drinker. 15/20 (29/3/04)
