Éternité Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend

Smells of hazelnut (common in aged wine for me)

This has mellowed a lot sconce I first tasted it, it has relaxed most of its muscle, and has become a much more eager to please than tanning dominating wine.
Heft to the body, with some barnyard decay, dried prune, oil cured olives, Thai basil, anise.
Tannins are still ready to slap you around, just not as much as they did in 2012 the acidity reminds me of a rechargeable battery. In a green way.

Vacqueyras doesn't ever get the credit it deserves. This one shows extreme finesse. This example displays the savory end of Grenache with dried black cherry and hints of prune. But there's definitely an underlying herbal kick, not the pyrazine inspired kind, but more Of what you'd find in Provence. A beautiful ensemble with considerable complexity.

First experience with Vacqueyras and it was great! Strawberries and campfire. I'll being seeking out Southern Rhone more.

A little too hot and brambly and tastes acidified. Like a lead horse - great out of the gate but fades quick on the back stretch.
