2009 Domain de Costes Rouges. 100% Mansois (Fer Savedou, one of my favorite names for a grape!)
Started out rather light and inoffensive. Not bad...just reticent. With some air, though, the "ferrous" qualities I have found in other (weirder) examples of fer-based wines came out more, but frankly a little more balanced and less weird than some of these other interesting wines from Southwestern France! Very meaty and spicy, with richness and minerality really shinging. An interesting and enjoyable and "different" French red!
