One of the top performers in my Vacqueyras tastings, this 2003 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with a sweet, pure nose of kirsch liqueur, black currants, licorice, and earth. Savory, full-bodied flavors reveal low acidity, considerable concentration, a multilayered texture, and a persistent finish that lasts over 40 seconds. This brilliant Vacqueyras should drink well for a decade.Importer: JAO Wine Imports (703) 628-9615
