Italian Critic, Vinous
Hitting the spot after a long day of tasting Rose. The 2012 Vacqueyras is in a bueatifully place today and reminds me quite a bit of the 2011 CdR from Chateau des Tours, which happens to be on my short list of dessert island wines. A bouquet that mixes rhubarb pie, crushed strawberries and mint with hints of Madagascar vanilla and smoke. It's just pure juicy pleasure on the palate, sweet yet focused and balanced, and just goes on and on through the spicy, candied orange-tinged finale. Don't overthink this, just enjoy with abandon. — 3 years ago
This is a fun and livly Syrah pulled after 2 very prestigious failures from the cellar. Thid is dark, yet fresh and lifted with blackberries, peppery herbs and smoke, quite mineral in style. It's cool-toned dark fruits and zesty acids make for a vibrant sip of juicy Northern Rhone terroir. It leaves violet inner florals, lavender and minerals to linger through the lightly structured finale. — 2 years ago
