Red wine from the Southern Rhone, France.
70% Grenache, 30% Syrah.
Purple color with medium intensity of aroma.
Cherry, cramberry, violet and spices such as nutmeg, licorice, cardamon, etc.
Tannin was higher side, but fine in texture.
It wasn't a bad pairing, but not a great pairing either.
I thought Gigondas and bacon would be a nice pairing...
JC suspected that saffron and the wine didn't work well together.
Because the wine was too strong for the subtle flavor of saffron? Maybe.
Saffron might need some kind of sweetness which comes from oak-ageing like Rioja.
This can be my next pairing theme.
