Hot Hot Hot. And delicious. Despite the tight grip this astringent Grenache places on all in the bowl, aromas of sour cherries and licorice leap out. They meld velvety-smooth beneath a spicy pepper-dark chocolate coat that drapes over oak, tannins for miles, and bold fruit.
Hard to believe the 14.3% alcohol measurement on the label. Taste buds argue that this wine surpasses 15% for sure.
Will hold up to all meats and strong cheeses. Tasted great with a sauté de foie de canard, aubergines, poivrons rouges, et onions grilles.
Drink now and enjoy for 5-10 years more.... at least.
