Roussillon "red of the mo": Mastrió

Domaine Mastrió - Bélesta
A towards-festive bottle of red worthy of anyone's attention, a 2007 "elegant" old-vine Carignan speciality by Mastrió:
2007 Elégant Carignan "vieilles vignes" vin de pays des Côtes Catalanes (13.5%) - aromatic, floral even, blueberry fruit on nose and palate; shows nice elegance vs intensity, rich and ripe vs spicy with subtle oak notes; attractive texture and length too. 90+
Mastrió is a new-ish estate in the Bélesta backlands: more words to follow...
