Dark red profile and a little velvety on the palate. Sustains nicely with blackcurrants on the finish. Fruit driven and attractive.

Always love this wine. So complete and balanced, especially in cooler vintages. Welcoming nose of dark fruits, some funky stable and of course garique. Fresh palate with laurel, leather and some bitters. This can age gracefully.

Impressive punch and depth for a vacqueyras. @delectable: it’s the Grenat Noble cuvée.

Completely shut down and hollow on opening. Thought it was an off bottle. But after a few hours the wine made a comeback to become a perfect southern Rhône with the ‘intense 16 fruits, underbrush, minerality and leather.. This one will hold an improve.

Lovely southern Rhône, fits the weather perfectly, chilled a bit. Juicy, herbs, already tertiary notes. My kind a wine.
