Camille Cayran Le Chêne Noir 2017 Côtes du Rhône Villages, $14.44-$18.99, 90 points, poured a deep sienna color with dense sticky legs and a clear meniscus.
Aromas of plums, soft floral perfume, a hint of shoe polish, and a bit of the barnyard were okay.
A full-bodied dry red wine, sleek up front and a bit austere late palate, with fair acidity, a grainy underlayment of tannin, and a complex fruit-flavor profile, a bit herbal, and with a touch of oak was really impressive.
Finished long on the austere, but juicy with an intense moment of spice-infused 14.5% alcohol.
Paired well with our buffet.
