Domaine de Fontavin Vacqueyras, 2009

This is a Vacqueyras and a half. It has everything I expect from a Vacqueyras...and a good bit more.

Deep crimson, only a small amount of bricking at the rim. Dark red berries, pepper and dark Vacqueyras minerals. Carries its alcohol (14%) well. Pleasantly warm and full bodied. Enough acidity to keep it nimble on its feet. Dark red berries and pepper on a beautiful and long finish. Seems to be at a perfect state of maturity. Wish I had more.
