The 2003 Perrin Cotes du Rhone-Villages Vinsobres Vieilles Vignes Les Hauts de Julien is a real winner. A fruit bomb as wines go, this dense purple-colored wine shows wonderfully sweet black raspberry and cassis notes intermixed with crushed rock, kirsch, and spice. The wine has a fabulous attack, medium to full-bodied palate, terrific ripe fruit, and noticeable but sweet tannin. This wine should drink well for up to a decade. Don’t miss it!
