Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes 2011, Tardieu-Laurent, South Rhone
Tasting notes
Deep ruby. Immediate note of coconut, but when agitated the fruit comes through to dominate the nose with spice and liquorice. Really savoury and intensely mineral. Firm, compact, thick tannins. Very young and full of life under the tannin overcoat. (J.H. – Jancis Robinson; 2006 vintage; 17/03/09)
