Cuvée Alice... Corbières 2003
Well, we had to buy this one, didn't we, since both our four-year-old and Margaret Anne's mom are named Alice? We spotted it in Calgary and snapped up six bottles.
Ruby red in colour, well-balanced, fruity, but with a nice layer of tannin to keep it dry. A hint of strawberry in the flavour, perhaps. On the nose, wood, maybe cedar...certainly a more herby than floral bouquet. Margaret Anne really likes this one, rating it 9/10; Ed isn't quite as enthusiastic, but gives it a 7/10. Anyway, we'll definitely buy more of it (in fact, Ed will be in Calgary in the next few days and plans to pick up a couple more bottles), for the label, if nothing else!
