caramelized sugar

red rose water

the tannins take hold and you're reminded this is still a young wine

marionberry and hints of warm spices

Will go for a while if well cellared but not likely to improve from here

Chateau Revelette, Coteaux d'Aix en Provenance, Le Grand Rouge 2005 Petite Sirah caramelized sugar" Into Neck Joe Czerwinski The blend in Revelette's top red is 45% Syrah, 35% Cab Sauvignon and 20% Grenache, although it varies a bit from year to year. It's riper, warmer and richer than the regular red, with plenty of savory spice notes, lavender and black cherry fruit. It's long and richly tannic on the finish, but soft and rounded; a wine that you could drink now or hold up to 10 years.
