Les Truffiers Vacqueyras

05

FYI: [vah ker AHS]. Southern France doesn't omit the final S. (Including Mas (Domaine), Cornas, Gigondas)

Full body, Seemed like a heavy amount of Grenache and Syrah (nothing was labeled on the bottle though.) I think it was a good value, although I'm not sure how much I paid for it. It tasted similar to a good Rhône, but I know I didn't pay over $20, which a good Rhône demands.

Dark purple in the galss, flavors of dark fruits-very masculine. Some pepper to finish. I drank it over 3 days and on the 3rd day I think it was best.
