'Wine of the week: Hints of garrigue, mellow, subtle, spicy succulent rounded fruits'. —Rose Murray Brown, Scotland on Sunday90 points. A beautiful blend...this full-bodied, rich, flavorful 2005 reveals beefy, juicy notes intermixed with garrigue, black cherries, berries, and a resiny character. Enjoy this lovely Vacqueyras over the next 7-8 years.' —Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Feb 2008
Our tasting notes
A deep, slightly burnt dark red colour with a peppery fruit-filled nose. Excellent berry fruit earthy flavours with a hard gripping finish, hints of velvet and chocolate. A delicious and interesting wine.Wine data
