Red #Languedoc-Roussillon #wine from France: 2008 #organic: http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Font des Prieurs. Producer: Alliance Terroirs, Famille Bonfils, 34290 Servian. Vintage: 2008. Purchased from Carrefour. Appearance deep purple, thick and viscous on the glass with redcurrants, blackcurrants aromatics. The attack is firm and very juicy. Evolution: Rich and deep, quite rustic with a finish which is redcurrant juice in the nose, blackcurrant on the swallow. Sweetness: 0. Acidity: 4. Tannin: 4 with a texture which is rough and the length is excellent. As for balance, it's quite acidic but not badly balanced. The wine has a cork closure and is 13% abv. Overall, this wine is: A nice southern French rustic wine which went very well with Comte cheese. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 82 points.
