Vacqueyras Cuvée Spéciale 2015 - John Livingstone

2015  (large barrel/casks) mild red robe, typical Grenache. The bouquet is also a genuine child of the Grenache thanks to its serene strawberry and plum-fruited, hum of flowers aroma. It has a dainty outer quality, with some steady depth within. The palate works well on its fluid, stroking texture, giving a raspberry jam, thick coulis flavour with liberal pepper spicing. The finish is lightly chewy, with sound freshness. This is an interesting Vacqueyras delivered with some subtleties. There is power that is pretty well camouflaged. 15°. 100% Gren. From spring 2018. 2028-30
