Domaine du Mas des Armes - Perspectives 2012
Languedoc
Red
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
Produced from a rigorous plot selection, Cuvée Perspectives is a concentrated wine, developing notes of coffee, cocoa, black cherry and very ripe plum d'Ente, black berries (blackberry, blackcurrant) and tapenade on the nose. Full-bodied and licorice-like on the palate, supported by young but supple tannins, with a very long finish... A great Languedoc wine!
