Sang des Cailloux "Lopy" Vacqueyras 1999

Deep, dull red.

Opened several hours ago. Nose of grilled/wilted herbs, tomato paste, pepper and earth.

Very intense initial impact in the mouth - deep and fleshy and simultaneously intensely tannic. This is a great bottle - many years of life ahead. Nuanced and powerful.



$25 on release. 13.8% listed alcohol.
