The 2004 Vacqueyras Cuvee Floureto was somewhat difficult to assess. There is plenty of body and richness, but the tannins are dry and the finish is slightly pinched and austere, with a distinctive tarry character. The wine is pure with plenty of black fruit, herb, and pepper notes, but seems angular. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
