We actually drank this wine a few weeks ago, so I probably shouldn't be blogging about it now, but it's a decent wine and you'll have to forgive me for the time lapse.I had only tried the entry level Mont Tauch Fitou previously, and wasn't all that impressed with it. Despite that I felt there was a bit of potential there, and as mentioned in that blog post I was keen on trying a more upmarket bottling.
It was kind of a weird experience - it was a hot day, and nobody seemed in the mood for red wine, especially a beefy one like this. I think we had it with beef Goulash. It was a good match with the food but not the weather. I do remember it being hefty but with good fruit, most likely enjoyable in the right circumstances. It made a good enough impression for me to try it again.
