This Rivesaltes Domaine La Sobilane 1968, the fruit of a year with no particular signal, unfolds a harmonious tertiary complexity. The attack on the palate is marked by notes of ripe black plum and violet, supported by polished tannins that testify to its beautiful structure. The aromatic profile evolves towards nuances of blond tobacco and a light graphite, offering a finish of beautiful length and surprising freshness for its age.

Vinous Tasting Note

The 1968 Rivesaltes has a more powerful bouquet than the 1969: dried honey, marmalade, fig, hints of marzipan and Chinese 5-spice. Like the 1969 this is very well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced with a viscous texture. There are enticing notes of marmalade, nougat, cafe latte, clove, white pepper and fennel with a long and sustained finish that is a pure unadulterated joy. Superb. Tasted with Philippe Gayral.
