Quite an expressive fragrant nose, touches of violets with blackberries and some cocoa dusting. Heady and evocative. Lovely rich texture on the palate, softly gripping tannins with bright black cherry and blackcurrant fruit flavours given lift by high acidity and weight by a softly chalky texture. Nice density overall with a spicy liquorice edge to the mid palate and on the finish alongside a cooling, minty aspect which gives a lifted ending. Characterful with personality and persistence. Good to drink, though still delightfully youthful, will age well. Good quality, elegant and polished - a nice buy from the appellation.

The 2016 Domaine des Sabines is silky and understated, with attractive floral notes that lift the red cherry, blood orange and mint flavors. Creamy tannins and layered fruit add to the wine's considerable near and medium term appeal. This is a very pretty delicious Lalande de Pomerol from Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud.
FAQs
Dark chocolate pairs best with wines that have the structural intensity to match its bitter cocoa and tannin character without being overwhelmed. Fortified wines are the strongest match: aged Tawny Port with its dried fig, rancio, and roasted nut character is the classic pairing. Banyuls from the Roussillon, a naturally sweet Grenache based wine, is the benchmark French equivalent. A full bodied, fruit forward red such as Zinfandel or Amarone can also work, where the ripe dark fruit and spice complement the chocolate.
Many wines use animal derived fining agents during production to clarify and stabilise the liquid before bottling. Common fining agents include isinglass (derived from fish swim bladders), gelatine (bovine or porcine), casein (milk protein), and egg whites (albumin). These are added to bind suspended particles and removed before bottling, but trace quantities may remain. Vegan wines use alternatives including bentonite clay, activated carbon, or pea protein. Checking the Barnivore database or looking for a vegan certification on the label is the most reliable approach.
