The 2013 Vacqueyras les Genestes Vieilles Vignes is a stunner and one of the most expansive, rich and textured wines of the vintage. Checking in as a blend of 53% Grenache and 47% Syrah that was brought up all in concrete tank, it’s loaded with notions of ripe plums, black raspberries, garrigue, melted licorice and toasted spice. Medium to full-bodied, layered and shockingly concentrated and rich in the vintage, this beauty should drink nicely on release and have over a decade of overall longevity.
