Oh look at this beauty. Is it heavily extracted? Uhhhh maybe. But! Robust raspberry, funky barnyard, extraordinary spice, robust tannin. A big wine for the money.

The 2021 Vacqueyras was very impressive. A bit more fruit forward than others. The impressive Kirkland Vacqueyras is dryer and better priced, but the Pierre Amadieu has more depth. Both are the real thing from Rhône.

2017 opened July 2022. This has to rank as one of the most boring wines I’ve ever imbibed. Nothing much happening here. Faint whiff of briars on the nose. Slight mineral notes on the front of the palate. Tannins are smooth and velvety with a light density, but I might as well be drinking cotton, because there’s nothing that plays on top of these tannins. Short finish, in fact it’s done by the time you swallow. Tastes like it’s a Rhone that’s been watered down 50%. No, I’m not claiming the winemaker did this! But this is a wine without any character.
