Domaine Lafage Cuvee Nicolas 12'

Naked Wine Review 157

Wine: Domaine Lafage Cuvee Nicolas
Grape: Grenache Noir 
Producer: Domaine Lafage 
Vintage: 12'
Region: France>Languedoc-Roussillon >Roussillon>Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes
Price: 15.00
Date tasted: 12/5/14
Place tasted: I had spent the day rollerskating through Flintstone Land wearing my new lederhosen. The ghost of my goldfish, Freddie, led me down various paths past curious children and giant waving Fred and Barney's. I waved back, Freddie did a little dance, and we giggled all the way home. What better at the end of a fun day like that than a nice bottle of French wine? 
Served with: Spicy butternut squash soup and warm bread. She’s very food friendly; grilled meats, game, herby pasta meals, roasts, spicy vegetable dishes and things of that nature all pair well with this one. 
Appearance: Firm naked body with thick beautiful legs draped in a gown of dark luminous pomegranate. Nice.
On the snoot: is the scent of fresh berries mingling with the distinct aroma of lilacs and roses.
Taste: Bursting with jammy raspberry, sweet spice, and a soft whisper of Dutch licorice. Finish is long and full with jazzy tones of smoke and earth over juicy red fruit and dusty tannins.
Balance: Medium body with soft alcohol, lively acids, minimal sugars, and warm subtle tannins.
Comments: I love this wine! She has simple elegance and grace. Go get yourself a bottle or two, you won’t be disappointed.


Rating: 4 tipsys, excellent value
