2007-Domaine la Monardiere-Vacqueyras-Les 2 Monardes - Medium ruby, just clear. Aromas of grilled pork, light caramel, dried herbs, brush, and blackberries as well as fresh ripe strawberries and red plum mix. In the mouth it's very youthful. Acid is still fresh, tannins are firm and ripe, and the fruit is hidden under a layer of black pepper corns, fresh blue flower petals and anise. The alcohol was mod+, but balanced thru a long finish. I recommend cellaring for 6 months or more is recommended or up to 10 years.
