". . . It represents an exceptional expression of old vine, low yielding Grenache. Tasted blind, many will mistake this wine for a Rayas from a vintage such as 1997 or 1996. The color is a deceptively light to medium ruby. The flamboyant bouquet offers a fabulous expression of Grenache harvested at sur-maturite that has not been compromised by aging in new oak. The flavors are all fruit, glycerin, and kirsch liqueur. Made from 100% Grenache, the wine exhibits a layered texture, low acidity, and 14-15% natural alcohol. This is a superb example of Vacqueyras . . . . PS I bought two cases."
