Domaine Peyre Rose : Marlène N.3 2004

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The Peyre Rose 2004 Coteaux du Languedoc Rose - or at least, the Grenache-Syrah blend Soria refers to as her rose and sells in a clear bottle - is in fact a rather deep red in color and altogether seriously concentrated, structured, and complex enough to explain its having only just been put on the market. Tart red raspberry and cherry mingle with sweetly aromatic, pungent herbs and alkaline and wet stone mineral notes. A savory sense of carnal and crustacean concentration helps give this wine its downright soulful finishing depth, while a satisfying, soothing texture barely permits an impression of fine tannin to register. Enjoy it - should you come upon it - over the coming 12-18 months.
