Tasting notes
Deep red. Fresh red berries and cherry on the nose, with dried flowers and musky herbs adding complexity. Juicy and fresh, with pliant raspberry and fruitcake flavors, supple tannins and good finishing lift. Drinking nicely right now.

The 2005 Perrin et Fils Vacqueyras Les Christins Vieilles Vignes shows plenty of kirsch liqueur intermixed with smoky Provencal herb, licorice, and earthy notes. It is rich, medium to full-bodied, with superb purity and a long finish. This should drink nicely for 7-8 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
Dark red. Lavender-accented raspberry and redcurrant on the intensely floral nose. Primary red berry and cherry flavors show good weight and focus. Finishes firm, with rather gentle tannins and good persistence.
Crimson. Rich and sweet density of ripe fruit. Very full and broad and flattering. Fine tannins underneath. Racy and nerveux even though there is lots of ripe fruit here. (JR)
