Domaine de l'Espigouette, Vieilles Vignes, 2018 - Half-bottle

Domaine de l’Espigouette's Vieilles Vignes is a powerful and expressive red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley, made from old vines that lend depth and concentration to the wine. Crafted primarily from Grenache, with smaller amounts of Syrah and Mourvèdre, this wine embodies the classic Rhône character of ripe fruit, spice, and earthy complexity.

It's full-bodied, with a plush, round mouthfeel and firm yet refined tannins. The flavours are bold and concentrated, featuring dark berry compote, fig, and hints of chocolate, complemented by herbal and spicy notes of black pepper and anise. Balanced acidity adds freshness, while the finish is long and lingering, with flavours of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle smokiness that reflect its Rhône terroir.
