Vacqueyras, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Dark chocolate and dried pomegranate, with an espresso streak. Lovely violet and Christmas pudding, exhibiting raisins and rum barrel as well as a mushroom log, aromatically. Big tar and black cherry, cassis, graphite and burnt chestnut. A touch of hoisin and lava rock. Bring on the grilled creatures and the fleshy fungi, it's a cold day for alligators!

Dark fruit, very ripe, almost candied, with earthy and floral notes. Very tight.

Jan 15th, 2021Very good. A blackcurrant, a smoke, maybe a leather. Short finish with some pepper. There's more fruit, but I can't decide.
