The 2013 La Vinsobraise ‘Sélection Vieilles Vignes’ is forward and stylish Vinsobres made from 55% Grenache and 45% Syrah. It displays a dark, inky color and delivers aromas and flavors of raspberry and dark plums along with spices, cocoa powder, melted licorice and lavender. The fruit is concentrated and layered with a rich, velvety texture backed by round tannins with no hard edges. This finishes up long and plush, leaving behind a coating of dark fruits, pepper and spices. There is some nice potential here, but it needs another year or so in bottle.
