Vacqueyras 2012

(55% grenache, 30% syrah and 15% mourvedre; half aged in old demi-muids and half in concrete): Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and dark berries on the deeply scented nose, with notes of candied lavender and licorice gaining strength with air. Powerful, spice-accented cherry and blackberry flavors show impressive concentration, with a backbone of bright acidity providing lift and focus. Shows a peppery, spicy quality on the finish, which features supple tannins and an echo of blackberry.

(90-92) Josh Raynolds, January 2014
