title: Tardieu-Laurent 2012 Vieilles Vignes  (Gigondas)
description: While some cuvées seem to handle the oak better than others, this wine comes across as full of toasted coconut and vanilla. There's some dark cherry fruit and savory herbs in support, but the oak dominates, albeit it in a popular, user-friendly way.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Vieilles Vignes
