Terrassous, Rivesaltes Vin Doux Naturel 1974, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Tasting Note: It really doesn’t get better than this.
Medium-intensity garnet in color, this wine has a pronounced-intensity, aromatic nose of vanilla baking spice, raisin, dried raspberry, dried apricot, toasted almond and caramel.
On the palate the sweet, full-bodied wine is medium-plus in acidity and abounds with rancio flavors.
A blend of 50% grenache blanc and 50% grenache gris.
