Roucas Toumba
La Grande Terre Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend
Vacqueyras, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Loved the way this was showing. Almost light on its feet. Not overly extracted at all. Beautiful Rhone wine.

2011, Roucas Toumba, La Grande Terre Vacqueyras. Grenache and Syrah. Intense purple with heavy extraction. Dark, stewed fruit with cedar, chocolate and forest floor. Tannins are med high and need some time to integrate and mellow. Needs lots of decant time to drink now. Still paired well with grilled burgers. Will let the other bottle sit for a whole.
