Domaine Lucci Red 2008
I'm off to a Domaine Lucci tasting/ Biodynamic masterclass with Anton Van Klopper this coming Thursday. I believe the full portfolio of wines will be available for tasting. Regardless of the format, I am very keen to hear Mr Van Klopper's thoughts and to try the single vineyard wines.
This 'Red' is a blend of four varieties. Unspecified, there's certainly some Shiraz and Grenache in here, likely to be Mataro and no idea on the fourth.
The wine opens with a real sweet jammy mass and some brambly fruit in amongst it. It's incredibly smooth, medium-bodied. There's spice in there - white pepper and star anise.
Its finish is interesting: gentle, mouth-coating tannins and with this acidic hit running through the core. Very good quality wine for the price, even if its composition is a little vague.
