Pale lemon color.
Aromas of lemon custard (yum!).
Dry. Flavors of lemon custard, hint of lime, background of minerality. Delicious! The lemon lingers longer than the creamy custard.

Cved twice already and finally opened, it only seems to get better stored in Cali bottle, good sign for long aging. A sense of complexity lingers during a long finish and tend to evolve. It’s a different mirror than the Burgundian one to reflect what’s so enticing about wine. Upping two points! Also empty glass left overnight did show nice leftover aroma which wasn’t the case previously. — 8 months ago

Nice Pinotage that has a little hint of Pinot Noir. Good alternative to Syrah and went well with the lighter courses like duck/melon and cheese — 2 years ago

This is the 2019 Domaine Le Gouroulu Vacqueyras Cuvée Classique GSM. A blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre.

On the nose I find strawberry, black cherry, raspberry, black pepper, spice, leather, bacon fat, violet and earth.

On the palate is strawberry, black cherry, plum, blueberry, black raspberry, pepper, garrigue, star anise and earth.

This wine is full bodied with medium to medium + acidity and medium + powdery grainy tannins that leaves you with a medium to long red & dark fruit wood earthy finish. I hope everyone's weekend was full of good wine family and friendships. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 7 months ago

I may or may not have ordered a full case of this shortly after this original comments. The 2019 vintage is a little off and not quite as good. I’m not changing my rating but be aware. — 2 years ago
