Tardieu-Laurent Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes

Je ne retrouve pas dans ma bouteille ce que je lis sir ce site Je dirais que ce vin est en fin de vie, avec des aromes confits et un alcool prononcé Bref c est pas top A regouter

Deleted, entered in wrong vintage, now re-entered under 2007. Apologies.

Questi sono i vini che mi piacciono! Corretto, senza fronzoli, con una precisa identità senza voler stupire a tutti i costi, e con una certa eleganza. Naso ricco: pepe, mirtillo un accenno di rosmarino. In bocca è meno complesso ma molto piacevole, E' pulito, con un'acidità controllatissima. Al secondo giorno è ancora lì, senza sbavature. Mi è piaciuto molto considerando anche un prezzo decente. Si può aprire tranquillamente adesso ma promette una lunga vita che potrebbe evolversi in una maggiore …

sehr dunkles schwarzrot. Nase: Kirsch/Pflaume, Veilchen. Mund: gute Säure, noch etwas astringierend. Vielleicht zu jung?

Stll deep red with almost a bluish cast, so still looking very primary. Rich palate with skilfully incorporated oak. Long, juicy and balanced, what a fantastic glass of St Joseph.

An elegant Syrah which we compared against a much more expensive South African Syrah, in comparison, this wine had a slightly burgundy red color, mild tannins, almost no hint of classic dill, less floral on the nose than the S.A. wine.

Lots of primaries, fresh black plums, blackcurrants, black peppers, very floral: purple flowers. Also a hint of red cherries, as it sits some time in the glass turns a bit savoury, some meatiness. Med tannins, med+ acidity. Med alcohol. Dry. Med+ body. Med+ intensity.

The prettiest of the lot with gorgeous violet perfume, freshly cut green herbs, wild raspberries, and sweet rubber (rather than burnt rubber) and licquorice notes. I would love to set it against some premium Oz specimens like St Henri or Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier. In fact it reminds me very much of the latter. Tasted alongside Ogier le passage, Guigal SJ lieu-dit, and Ferraton SJ lieu-dit, all from the same vintage.

A plus de 52$, c`est cher pour St-Joseph mais celui-ci en donne pas mal. Belle matière, de la viande fumée, des mures, des olives, des fleurs et une belle rasade de poivre. Très long et fringant. Beaucoup vin dans mon verre et va durer pas mal longtemps en se bonifiant. Très bon.
