Domaine la Bouissiere Vacqueyras 2015 [VM 92]

“Youthful purple. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes raspberry preserves, boysenberry, potpourri and smoky Indian spices. Lively and focused on the palate, offering vibrant, appealingly sweet red and blue fruit flavors that show excellent depth and tension. Gains weight and fleshes out with air while maintaining litheness, and finishes sweet, youthfully tannic and very long, with no rough edges.” Vinous 91-93 Points

“Alluring, with enticing aromas of anise, warm fruitcake and violet, while the core of cherry, raspberry and boysenberry coulis flavors races in. The finish has a fresh, racy edge.” Wine Spectator 92 Points

“The 2015 Vacqueyras Tradition is a suave, supple blend with an unusually high proportion of Syrah (50%), the rest is Grenache (42%) and Mourvèdre (8%). It sees no new oak, allowing the berries and stone fruit nuances to flow easily across the medium to full-bodied palate, with silky tannins fanning out on the licorice and pepper-tinged finish.” Wine Advocate 91 Points
