Pierre-Marie ChermetteLes TroisRoches06.jpgThe colour is crimson that is quite deep and very bright. The nose is not shy in letting you see the great fruits of blueberry, cherry and a bit of anise. The palate takes these flavours and has great length. It starts with a fine grained set of tannins supporting blueberry, cherry and a bit of spice. The finish is a while coming and is sort of raisiny and very clean. Lurking around is a subtle fennel element that completes the package. I would love to try this again in a few years because I suspect it will age very well. It is available from International Fine Wines who tell me that few retailers were shown this but it is at quite a few top restaurants.
