Domaine Hecht & Bannier Cotes du Roussillon Villages 2003
Full Bodied - Black cherry, plum, soy, resin and herbs. Remarkably sappy and juicy.
Full-bodied, with lots of blackberry and dark cherry flavors. Broad, lush and delicious, this is inky as well. Finish is filled with lots of dark chocolate and hints of espresso. - VT
Gregory Hecht and Francois Banniers highly-promising young negotiant operation will include wines from Roussillon as well as the Languedoc (for which, please consult coverage earlier in this report). Their 2003 Cotes du Roussillon Villages (from Grenache and Carignan with a bit of Syrah and Mourvedre) represents a selection for the best half dozen districts and soils of Roussillon, matured mostly in larger-than-barrique barrels. Aromas of black cherry, soy, resin and herbs lead to a polished, indeed positively creamy palate loaded with cherry and plum, alluringly-complemented by mocha and brown spices, and tinged with pleasing iodine and toasted nut bitterness. Remarkably sappy and juicy not to mention polished for a 2003, this wines long, heat-free finish will reel you right back in for more. It represents an outstanding value, and may well gain in complexity over the next several years. - WA
