One of the most reliably excellent Vacqueyras we have found. This is not as stellar as the exceptional 2010, but the 2011 is in a very good place right now. The tendency towards being a bit of a fruit bomb has evolved to an elegant, silky-smooth Rhone blend. It is probably at this pinnacle right now, so I would drink as soon as you can. Great with pork dishes if not overly spicy. Would go well with holiday ham or turkey, there is enough acidity left.

Un Vacqueyras classique, il a bien tenu et n'est pas trop marqué par l'évolution. J'ai bien aimé.
15/20
