Even better, I was blown away by the 2012 Vacqueyras Les Genestes! An old vine blend of 56% Grenache and 44% Syrah that was partially destemmed and aged all in concrete tank, it knocks it out of the park with its ripe black raspberry, cassis, creamy licorice and toasted spice aromas and flavors. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness and depth, this beauty covers the palate with fruit, stays fresh and lively and has sweet tannin. Count me a fan. Already hard to resist, I see no reason to delay gratification.
