Famille Perrin Vacqueyras Les Christins 2006
Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceThere is nothing shy about this powerful red grenache that contains about 25 per cent syrah fruit. The nose is floral with spicy red fruits and liquorice notes. The palate a similar mix of earthy, woodsy gamey, coriander fruit spiked with black raspberry swirls. Still youthful and will need another year or two in the cellar or serve with roasted or grilled meats.Tasted: 18 January 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $27.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
