Chateau d' Oupia Rouge 2006

Minervois France

Robert Parker 89
"From centenarian Carignan, with smaller amounts of Syrah and Grenache, Andre Iche’s 2006 Minervois Tradition smells of ripe black cherries backed by the bitter-sweetness of cherry pits and dark chocolate, and (just as with the 2005) Cornas-like elements of raw beef liver. These flavors come together for a strikingly rich, mouth-coating black-fruit, and animal impression. Toasted nut and pungent herbal notes season the rich black-fruit, mole- and meat stock-like finish. I suspect this fascinating and sensually satisfying Minervois would be worth following for 2-3 years in bottle. "

"This wine is aromatic, full and densely colored, with a long finish of dark fruits. Robert Parker wrote about this wine, "Ch?teau d'Oupia has produced the ideal bistro wine. Dark, ruby-colored, the wine is wonderfully clean and pure, with an exuberant personality, and gobs of rich, peppery, red and black fruit.... Bravo to proprietor Andr? Ich?!" ~Winery Notes
