Brotte Vacqueyras Rouge Bouvencourt 2018

Forward, welcoming notes of black currant and plum are rich and pulsating in this opulent, warming Grenache-Syrah blend. While mouthwatering and immediately appealing in fruit, the structured wine is held upright by firm, fine tannins and a lingering smoky, mineral finish. It's at peak now through 2027 but should hold longer. 91 points rated by Wine Enthusiast (2018)
