TN: 2005 Domaine de Montrieux Pineau d'Aunis

The aromas were complex. Adjectives around the room ran the gamut: pencil lead, roses, pine bark, Asian five-spice, marigolds, cinnamon, earth, pot-pourri, etc... The aromas largely followed into the palette, though I can't say I've ever eaten pine bark or a marigold. The floral character came out more with air-contact. It sounds like you've nailed Pinot D'Aunis character to me, Chris! ;-) It's a very unusual grape in the assortment of flavors that hit you. Yes, the color of your wine is darker than those I've seen, so maybe that's '05's influence, or maybe it's the producer (whose name is unfamiliar to me). The fact that you got it at Caves Auge would argue for the producer's quality IME. Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.hostexcellence.com
