This was bursting with delicious, mouth filling Grenache fruit. This has 2016 written all over it which reminds me a lot of 2010 to be honest. Brambles and brambles and brambles with a touch of spice. So easy to like and massively crushable. Perhaps just a touch too simple for my taste but gosh...there’s a lot to like.

Singing the alcoholic capabilities of Grenache. Some jammy, earthy (fallen/bruised/rotting) fruit character. Delicious and airing new world.

Delicious CDP. Lush, different, not as earthy, spice as some, but great.

Dark bold color. Internally warming. Good/great start, middle and end. So well balanced
