2019 Château de Vaugelas Le Prieuré Corbières
A fruit-forward medium bodied wine that offers plenty of black fruits surrounded by notes of oak
A medium bodied wine with black fruit flavour, with a strong oak presence that bookends the fruit. If you like your wine with heavier wood notes, this could be something for you. The balance seems to be a bit off overall through, as the woodiness is overwhelming the pleasant fruits in the background. Some time airing this wine helps bring some harmony, but the oak still overshadows. Overall, there may be others to grab first before grabbing this one.
