Ripe red and black berries, peppery herbs, violets, and a touch of minerality define the aromatics, and it’s a nicely balanced.

Medium to full-bodied on the palate, nicely textured, and balanced, it’s another impeccable looking barrel sample.

Sample a little tired on the nose. But good plump fruit on the palate and then a bit austere.

Dark purplish crimson. Some Syrah in evidence (40% of the blend, with Grenache).

Bouche plus pure, ensoleillée, capiteuse, d'une superbe intensité, réglisse, poivrée, encore jeune et ferme. Joli.

Mouth-puckering tannins but they will integrate with time and there is good fresh fruit beneath it.

A round, supple, balanced mouthfeel, and fine tannins, this sexy, incredibly satisfying Vacqueyras will drink well for a decade.

With sweet tannins as well as impressive concentration, it’s a standout in the vintage.

The tannins are tight and very dominant and below there is attractive fruit. Very introverted, currently.

Slight sickly quality to the fruit on the nose, although the palate is more conventionally ripe.
