Mas de Boislauzon Le Tintot (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
From 100% Mourvedre, with vines that average at least 80 years of age, this inky, black wine is stunning! Licorice, blackberry liqueur, herbs, ripe black cherry and smoke aromas explode from the glass. Fat, sassy and packed with multiple layers of rich, ripe, dense sweet, pure fruit, this massive, intense wine fills your mouth and palate with flavor and velvet textures in the long, polished finish. 2,618 Views Tasted Mar 20, 2012 |
When to Drink Mas de Boislauzon, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Mas de Boislauzon can be enjoyed on the young side with 1-2 hours of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Mas de Boislauzon is usually better with at least 5-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 5-25 years after the vintage.
