Dom. Cazes Rivesaltes ‘Ambre’ 1995
‘Amber’. Grenache
Blanc, aged 7 years in foudre. Deep,
golden, orange yellow colour. Full solid
nose, but with subtle aromatics, rounded and nutty. Sweetish palate, with warm, ripe grapey
flavours, quite rich in fruit weight and texture. A gentle pervading nuttiness, a hint of
amontillado sherry in character, or aged Rhone
white in style. Full, long finish with a
little rancio carrying through the finish.
