Looking at the 2011s, the 2011 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Latour de France Visitare Interiore Terrae (VIT) is, like the 2012, mostly Syrah that comes from schist soils around the town of Latour de France. It offers a mineral-drenched, slightly gamey profile with ample blackcurrant, licorice, wild herbs and spiced meat aromas and flavors all soaring from the glass. Full-bodied, layered and rich, with ultra-fine tannin and a gorgeous mouthfeel, it will continue to evolve nicely for another decade or more. Drink 2014-2024.
