Villa Tempora Le Démon du Midi – Languedoc – Red – 2018:

 

VILLA TEMPORA LE DÉMON DU MIDI RED: A Cellar-Worthy Languedoc Fine Wine

Known as the ‘Demon of the South,’ the Le Démon du Midi Red by Villa Tempora is a magnificent, full-bodied expression from the Languedoc. This wine showcases the superb concentration that the Syrah and Grenache grapes achieve in the sun-drenched Pays d’Oc region. It is a sophisticated, terroir-driven red that deserves a place on any connoisseur’s rack.

Tasting Notes (Expert Review)

• Appearance: Deep garnet hue, showing youthful intensity with dark reflections.
• Aroma: Rich and complex, offering concentrated aromas of dark berries (mulberry, cassis), wild garrigue herbs, sweet spices, and a hint of dark chocolate.
• Taste: Robust and well-integrated. The palate is generously layered with dark fruit and spice, supported by firm yet velvety tannins. It boasts excellent length and a persistent, peppery finish-a truly exceptional bottle.

Serving Suggestions

Decant for 60-90 minutes to allow its full potential to unfold. Serve slightly below room temperature at 16-18°C.

• Food Match: Traditional Shepherd’s Pie (Lamb), Roast Venison Loin with Redcurrant Sauce, or a Mature Stilton Cheese and Port pairing.
