Tasting Notes

WA93

One of the great Vacqueyras of the vintage is the 2005 Vacqueyras Cuvee du Lopy. A blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, all from 40- to 50+-year-old vines, this wine has a wonderfully smoky, earthy nose of truffle juice, blackberries, cherries, meats, and Provencal herbs. Some forest floor and flowers are also there. Deep, sumptuous, rich, dense, with moderately high but sweet tannin, this is a sensational Vacqueyras to drink over the next 10-15 years.
