2006 L’Anglore (Eric Pfifferling) Comeyre Côtes du Rhone 13.5%
Carignan(90%), Grenache Noir(10%). Dark berry and leather, shape shifting considerably over the short time this lasted to include three-wise-men spices and eucalyptus. Juicy, with attractive acidity, balanced by fruit that turns to strawberry and light olive tapenade. Very attractive.
I thought this straddled a line between Loire cab franc and some of Eric Texier’s CdR’s, which launched a discussion with Marcia about this business of natural wines tasting more alike than non-natural wines, a concept I have difficulty with, but that seemed more plausible after the following analogy came up:
Take five randomly-chosen women without makeup.
Ask five different makeup artists to make them look as “attractive” as they can.
Are they more likely to look closer to each other with or without makeup?
