Marshmallow middle makes my mouth mellow. As the sip spreads it's all lofty foam breaking over the cliff of my tongue. Some of the wave cap residue lingering with a chiffon of the most potent part of the sip. Petrol, spice, aperol, raspberry stem are some other hints I detect. An enjoyable wine but with a little more heat than I like.

Delicious, airy, mousse-like Garnache with bright red raspberry notes and a perfect finish. Good job ES.
