In the mouth, the wine has rich flavors of black fruits. It is meaty, well-structured, and the tannins are round and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003e\r\n\tThe juice is aged in concrete tanks for 18 months. The lack of oak helps to frame in the bright and defined dark berry flavors of the old vine grapes. I can not recall another red wine that displays this depth yet displays on the palate with such refreshing acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eVieilles Vignes means old vines.For this specific wine, the age of the vines are comprised between 85 and 110 years old.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eTraditional method.

It's a fabulous, pure expression of the tiny appellation and offers gorgeous dark fruits, chocolate, licorice and assorted earthiness, full-bodied richness and a ripe, layered, textured profile on the palate. Buy this beauty by the case and enjoy it over the coming decade. - Jeb Dunnuck\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #216, January 2015), 93 pts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colline St-Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948841562159,"sku":"F0EE280003GRL","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/csj_vacqueyras_rouge_vieilles_vignes_label.jpg?v=1771484535","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/colline-saint-jean-vacqueyras-vieilles-vignes-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
