New Southern France wines in the Flickinger Fine Wines inventory http://www.flickingerwines.com/wineregions/southernfrench.asp WA 93 (6/2009): Bay laurel, sandalwood, and plum preserves in the nose of the 2006 Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape L-Ancely mingle on the palate - in archetypal Mourvedre fashion - with dark chocolate, beef blood, and sea water. These descriptions will not strike anyone who tastes this wine as being exaggerated; rather, the intensity of these flavors put this wine practically beyond imagination! Is this elegant or refined? No. If Mourvedre is inherently animal, this is a real beast. But it displays an elemental power that is irresistible, without becoming overbearing, and phenomenally rich ripeness and plush texture, without its 15.6% alcohol engendering heat or roughness in its throat-coating finish. Certainly it will be worth following for at least 5-7 years, and I would not be surprised to find it holding up well for a decade.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/ChateaudelaNegly.asp
