Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas La Louisiane Red Rhone Blend 2006
I opened this Rhone Blend to taste with spaghetti and Italian Sausage
left over from our recent dinner at Angeli's Italian, our favorite neighborhood trattoria, while watching the
nauseating 2016 national election coverage on election night TV. Regardless of the
outcome, the whole situation is pretty depressing.
As a holder of a highest level national security clearance, it is frightening, bewildering and in fact, inconceivable, that one of the candidates, with her track record and overt behavior, is yet viable and is not considered unsuitable for office, let alone under indictment. Politics aside, this subdued, dark wine seems appropriate for the somber occasion.
Dark blackish garnet colored, medium - full bodied, floral aroma, somewhat subdued black fruits are overtaken by earth and creosote with a tangy spicy black fruit on the lingering finish.
This wine opened with an awkward flabby disjointed flavor but eventually settled down to a level of stability.
RM 86 points.
