Les Halos de Jupiter
Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend
Vacqueyras, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Quarantine materials ready. Creature comforts are getting me through this thing. Give me good coffee, pavement to pound, a pen that dances on the page, a worn notebook with still empty pages to fill, jazz weaving the air, and a bottle of wine, and I will kill all the time there is.
A magenta shawl in the glass.
Earth’s fragrance caught in a bottle. Sweet, sweet clay. Leather. Intense plums and orange zest. Sea breeze. This is a memorable and rich bouquet.
Subtle smoke quality reminiscent of the char in the bark of good brisket. A reserved dark fruit quality which is there, but just teases you as a spicy black peppercorn note swings in for a jab. It’s smooth.
An eloquence in the expression and structure. Like a mathematical proof or a line of poetry you cannot easily forget.
It slaps.

Absolute heaven. It starts off earthy, warms up to full fruit then ends with a light raspberry/blueberry finish. Delicious.

Full bodied wine. The tannins seem to be high with this wine. I gave it a high rating but it won't be on my priority list.
