The 2014 'Vignes de 1939' from Pascal Aufranc is an outstanding effort. Just as the name indicates, this comes from vines planted in 1939. It has lots of vibrant red berry, autumn spice and floral scents, followed by dark soil and mineral nuances. On the palate this is juicy and precise, offering a core of raspberry and cherry flavors and a touch of iron and white pepper. The finish is smooth and elegant, with a lingering floral note and silky tannins. Drink this now or over the next 5-7 years. (Best 2015-2021) - September, 2015 (MD)
