2001 Mas de Gouronnier

[TheEngineer]

2001 Mas de Gouronnier (Reserva), I had this one at dinner tonight with a few of my wifes female friends. They all like wine and they liked this one.

The nose is just great, full of fruits and flowers. I could just take in gulps of air at a time and be happy. Lighter in color, I was actually disappointed when I put this in my mouth. The nose gave way quickly to a very light wine with a hint pepper and with light tannins. Light to medium body. None of the fruits at least to me could be found. After the initial let down though, the wine settled in and became pleasant drinking. The varietal is a Mourvedre (sp?). Nice easy non-complicated drinking...perhaps the nose itself was a sufficient reason for entry.

Said to be one of the three best years that the owner has every had. This is also a fully organic wine and has been for over 20 years.
