2004 Château Pesquié Côtes du Ventoux "Les Terrasses"

By Dre.

Appearance
Clear, dark cherry core that leads out to a medium thin ruby rim with a white edge. Wine shows little maturity around the rim of the glass.

Nose
The nose is clean and very flamboyant. Plump plum, earth, sweat and sage show well but its the massive oak notes that dominate.

Palate
Dry with high acid and medium tight tannins. Big Malo notes, strawberry, raspberry, plum, leather, rosemary and big oak flavors again. Sweet vanilla with a bit of bitter. High alc, medium body with a long malo oaky finnish.
Good quality, the alc is a bit heavy though.
Drinking well now (decanting recomended) but will be best if held for 2-6 years.
