2016 Domaine de l'Espigouette (Bernard Latour) Vacqueyras
Community Tasting Note
La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine:
90 Points
Sunday, September 22, 2019 - Visiting London, Galway, Dublin and Paris; 9/14/2019-9/29/2019 (England, Ireland and France): This opaque ruby wine is an approximate blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. Pure and racy, it offers a mix of blackberry compote, earthy black cherry, Provençal herbs and licorice. Full-bodied, judiciously oaked and with nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 14.5%), it wraps its flavors with ample tannins that carry some grip. Dense on the middle palate, it goes on to finish with good length. This will get better with another year or two in the cellar. Drink 2021-2026.
