Rene Renou, Bonnezeaux, Beauregard 1996 Sherry blackberries

blackberries

It offers up a deep garnet-purple color and notes of dried Mediterranean herbs

but what hedonistic pleasure

Drinks quite well at present with decanting & airing but at 25 years of age

this wine is full bodied

Rene Renou, Bonnezeaux, Beauregard 1996 Sherry blackberries2. 0cm 95 Points CellarTracker Member Heavenly. Amber in the glass (my husband thought I was drinking a rose). First hits the nose like a sherry, I was worried it might be over oxidized. Has that slight Chenin oxidation that makes it wonderfully nutty. Maybe slightly sweeter than off dry (and sweeter than I was expecting) but still light on the palate, not overly sweet or cloying. Aromas of honeysuckle, orange blossom and orchard fruit.
