A total wine pick up. Vacqueyras is a French AOC in the southern Rhône region, established in 1990. Often receiving the unfortunate moniker of "a poor man's Châteauneuf-du-Pape", the wines are typically GSMs and can age nicely if produced correctly. This one is 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, (the AOC requires a minimum of 50% Grenache in the wine). While you can drink the wines young, they truly begin to shine after 3-4 years. This wine seems to be peaking now. ~$17 | #totalwine #vacqueyras #GSM

Delicious, very drinkable. Give it a few minutes to breath. Incredible value — 9 years ago
A real traditional heavyweight syrah, perfumed with lavender and green olive, plum pudding and cracked pepper. Mouthfilling and bold, very perfumed and streamlined on the palate. Good mid-palate concentration, and high acid despite 15% alc. comes across as both elegant and burly, plenty of length in the finish but not without tongue-numbing heat. Still, gorgeous. — 10 years ago

スッキリ飲みやすいシャブリ。ほのかに甘さを感じるかな、くらい。 — 10 years ago
Wonderful barnyard funk on the nose which persists even after 3 days of being open. Berries and chewy tannins on the palate. Really great food Bordeaux that could hold up to quite a few dishes and most importantly, doesn't lose nuance after a couple days like much lower priced Bordeaux. — 10 years ago
