2004 Rene Rostaing Coteaux du Languedoc "Puech Chaud"

[TheEngineer]

I was surprised by this wine, very elegant, concentrated but restrainted, subtle and so well put together.

Dark purple garnet in color, restained nose, somewhat floral, deep berries, perfumey but not overly so. Classically structure with good tannin level and acidity. Very balanced even though purchased recently (not sure if it just got off the boat), slightly hot at the end but only ever so. Decent buy at $26.
