Romain Duvernay Vacqueyras 750ml

Duvernay's 2016 Vacqueyras features aromas of leather, cinnamon and clove, over modest dark cherry fruit. It's a full-bodied, concentrated blend of 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, aged in concrete. It has plenty of appeal but also a lingering metallic note on the finish; drink it within the next 3-4 years.
