From a selection of older Grenache vines, the 2013 Cotes du Rhone Villages Domaine de Vieille Fontaine is similar to the straight Cotes du Rhone Villages and has bright acidity and medium-bodied richness, as well as attractive notes of plums, violets and spice box. It has solid tannic grip on the finish and I suspect, will have a decade of longevity, although I see no need to hold off either.
