Similar to the 2013, the 2014 Vacqueyras les Hautes Vacquieres has lots of forward, dark fruits, licorice and Provencal garrigue to go with a medium to full-bodied, polished and deliciously quaffable feel on the palate. With air, it shows hints of its barrique upbringing, but I suspect these will be long gone by the time that sees the inside of a bottle.
