After nearly a week in Las Vegas subsisting on vodka tonics and oaky CA chardonnay, my palate is nearly ruined. Back to earth now, starting with this vacqueyras. Well, what of it? Deep purple, initial minerality and burst of acid, then its all ripe fruit and alcohol, disappearing faster than a pile of chips at the blackjack table. A bit green, and perhaps worth revisiting in a year or two.
