"As usual, from southwest-facing Grenache vineyards and aged in used barriques, the Coume del Mas 2010 Banyuls Galateo - tasted from tank - is distinctively buttery in texture as well as flatteringly glycerin-rich. Black raspberry confiture laced with vanilla and caramel picks up a mouthwatering and extremely welcome streak of salinity, which along with hints of berry skin and bitter dark chocolate make for a highly-stimulating, not to mention long, finish."
