Vin de Pays d'Oc
Michel Gassier

Dark yellow-light gold in the glass.

Floral, honeyed, peach, apricots, orange on the nose.

Good acidity, floral, a marmalade mixture of apricots, grapefruit, orange, lime, light citrus rind, very spicy, peppery, quite rich and intense, oily in the mouth but with enough of an acidic edge to also be clean and refreshing.

Tangy citrus rind on the finish.

A very impressive wine. Would be even more impressive if it were a few dollars cheaper, but I digress. :roll:

Purchased at $16.95 (Canadian).
