with lots of raspberry fruit and supporting flavors like sweet pipe tobacco

but they are soft and silky

which cuts through the concentrated fruit (64 grams per liter of residual sugar) like a Japanese knife

Deep and exquisitely layered in the glass

Domaine Mikael Boutin MB Rasteau, Rhone, France 2019 Case (6x750ml) Stag's Leap Wine Cellars with lots of raspberry fruitShiny, quite dark red color. The nose is peppery, expressive, has good life in it, and attractive black cherry fruit, herbes de Provence. The palate runs directly with pepper powder influences with a silky texture. It drinks cleanly, with a ripe tannin finish.
