2016 Gérard Bertrand Château l'Hospitalet Grand Vin, France, Languedoc, Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape AOP, Wine Review

In a recent blind tasting of Languedoc wines, this was the clear winner.  It is a blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre.  Purple in color, clear and bright.  The nose has black cherries, black raspberries, spice, slight black olives and strawberries.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is tasty with flavors of black cherries and black raspberries along with a bit of spice and pepper.  Nice finish.  This drinks well on its own but better with food.  This would be a nice wine with grilled meats or fowl.  Drink over the next few years.
