  • 2005 Domaine le Sang des Cailloux Vacqueyras Cuvée Doucinello - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Vacqueyras (10/23/2009)
    Off the list at Webster.
    Great stuff. Pretty wild nose with plenty of garrigue, red fruits, earthy and hint of fur. Med+ body, balanced with a med acidity, palate is pretty much like the nose with a nice smokiness adding to he overall complexity. Iron finish that I often find in their wines (there's also a light mineral touch on the nose).
    Tannins are still a little firms but give a good structure to the wine.
    Exactly what I expect and want in a Vacqueyras. (92 pts.)

Thanks for the notes on this wine. It is something I have forgotten about in the cellar. What is your opinion the drinking window?

No rush to drink it. It can go another 7-8 years easy.
But it is treat to drink it now !

Sounds like it had the weight and depth of a CdP.

Thanks for the note.

Yep, with a little more rusticity I thought. But a great wine at a very good price !
