Department 66 “Others” Cotes Catalanes French Red Wine 750mL

92 Wine Advocate “Not far behind its big brother, the 2015 Côtes Catalanes Others checks in as a blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah and the balance Carignan, Mourvèdre and Lladoner. Currants, black raspberries, spices and chocolate all emerge from this rich, supple, beautifully textured effort that has classic Maury flair. Brought up in 30% new barrels, drink it anytime over the coming 4-5 years.” Jeb Dunnuck April 2017

“GRENACHE, CARIGNAN, SYRAH AND MOURVEDRE THE WINE HAS A PROFOUND CARDINAL HUE WITH POWERFUL AROMAS OF RHUBARB COMPOTE, SAVORY ROASTED PLUM, STAR ANISE AND LEATHER. OPENING WITH POTENT FLAVORS OF COLA, DARK FRUITS, RASPBERRY JAM AND BAKING CHOCOLATE, IT TRANSITIONS TO OFFER BEGUILING FLAVORS OF FOREST FLOOR, FENNEL, AND EARTHY ASIAN SPICES. WITH A PURPOSEFUL FINISH, THE WINE CLOSES WITH SHARDS OF ACIDITY AND LENGTHY POLISHED TANNINS.” -Orin Swift Department 66
