Arnoux "Vieux Clocher" Vacqueyras 2009

Deep red.

Expressive nose - iron/blood/grilled herbs/pepper steak/black cherry.

Round and mouth-filling, with a textural sweetness. Excellent, packed black cherry, herb and spice mid-palate flavors. This is loaded. Spicy, tannic finish is slightly rustic, but honest. Real, gutsy wine here. No sculpting/BS.

$22.
