| Wine Notes: | The 2000 Vacqueyras exhibits classic Provencal characteristics of lavender, thyme, and rosemary intertwined with kirsch and currants. Fat, opulent, medium to full-bodied, and peppery, this gorgeous Vacqueyras may merit an outstanding score. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Score - 88.
