Bright violet. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes succulent red and blue fruits, exotic spices and candied flowers. Palate-staining, intense raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors take a sweet turn on the back half. Finishes extremely long and spicy, with repeating florality and steadily building but deftly interwoven tannins. Aged in foudres and clay amphoras.

Product Description:

dark red. The nose has an air of iodine, with squeezy black fruits attached; the fruit has some ease, charm. The palate is a typical Vacqueyras, based on lithe, peppered content, the tannins needing to soften. There are moments of fluid, raspberry flavoured gras along its path. It can draw itself together over time, expand its mid-late palate, and should be left until late 2019. 14.5°. 2027-29 Mar 2018 -- Drinkrhone.com
