La Brunely Vacqueyras
RP -
One of the top performers in
my Vacqueyras tastings, this 2003 exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour
along with a sweet, pure nose of kirsch liqueur, black currants,
liquorice, and earth. Savoury, full-bodied flavours reveal low acidity,
considerable concentration, a multilayered texture, and a persistent
finish that lasts over 40 seconds. This brilliant Vacqueyras should
drink well for a decade. |
