Domaine Saint Pierre Vacqueyras 2006
17,48€; 14,5% abv; 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah. Bordering on purplosity. Dark toned, masculine, rugged, meaty aroma but with all the sweetness and garrigue I expect from this area. Quite a powerful wine with pleasingly refreshing tannins countering the primary fruit. Thus, until the aftertaste, it seemed like a very good example of the masculine style of Vacqueyras, but sadly there was heat on the finish.
