The wine: Cuvée du Vatican - Côtes du Rhone by Jean-Marc Diffonty is full-bodied with a fruity, spicy aroma; its tannins are ripe but not dominant. Typically for a Grenache, it is reminiscent of figs and prunes. Added to this are the strong aromas of Syrah, which bring with them the scent of the garrigue - the heathland in the Mediterranean regions. Welcome to the south of France!
