A thick and juicy wine - easy to get into - hefty, with black cherry, dark berry blend, pinch of anise, pepper. Cherry skin tannins, with a zesty acidic overture.
An excellent wine!

Color of light purple, quite clear. Nose of intense wet mushroom, raspberry, spice, a bit violet, and some strength of alcohol. Nose is vibrant and plenty. Taste follows the nose, with addition of zest, spiciness, some sweetness of cantaloupe, and soft tannins. Aftertaste is clean and tasty. Really good.

Sep 16th, 2022Needs more time. Decanted for a 45 minutes and really needed more time. Shows great potential. Big dense dark fruit and tannins at this time.

May 17th, 2020Ripe sweet forest fruit, with a touch of black pepper and allspice. Great juicy acidity balancing the sweetness, fine tannins. Seems weightless despite the 14,5% alc.
You gotta love Grenache!
