  Drunk for dinner of Boeuf Bourgignon. 14.5%. Medium garnet. Raspberry, red cherries, blackcurrants and blackberries merging into spices, pepper and hints of chilli-chocolate. This is ageing very nicely and is probably at its peak. Tannins have softened but are still present and the fruit is still very much in evidence. The palate was a little weaker than the nose and it has moderate length. Overall, a very nice wine in a very good place.

  Good one. Tannins have largely vanished and drinks smoothly. Has some more years of life in it.

  Similar to previous notes. This wine has loads of tannic structure and will last at least 5 more years.

  Hazy notes from last night. This has really come together now. medium to full bodied, with a rustic yet refined plate. The grenache is dominant, with loads of garrigue, red fruits and tar notes. A great Vacqueyras. Lovely now, but will definitely last (A-).
