While we were waiting for the Les Serines to mellow out (see previous post) we opened the L'Amarybelle which we have had in past vintages (03 and 04). It was astounding that it could taste so different than the Les Serine while being the same grape from the same region. And it wasn't because Les Serine was an off bottle.
The L'Amarybelle was subtle, but in your face at the same time. Totally balanced with tannins and fruit. It had the smoky tar, but the sweet innocent raspberry to lighten it up. It was beautiful by itself, and nicely complimented the grilled leg of lamb I snacked on while tasting the lucious fruit.
We decanted it, and I kept stealing sips while our friends tried to figure out what to open next!
