Rich and sweet fruit. 16%. Slightly hot, no? But oddly balanced. Tannins are there but sweet fruit overwhelms this. Ditto acid. Pretty hedonistic. 2019

I don’t drink CDP when I do I will drink this. This is a pure Grenache via the Greek of divine origins. Nose is just gorgeous herbs. So complex and so detailed. A gorgeous plum and berry fruit. So intense yet refined and delicate. Heavenly nose. 9.8. Just stunning. Palate is juicy, complex and so so so stoney. Some heat as that is what is part of the picture here. But that gets better integrated as this cuvee airs. The nose off the bat is just an experience. Smell it while you let it breathe. Amazing sweetness, structure and tannins. Long. Elegant. Wonderful.

A true terroir driven Chateauneuf. Balanced fruit and acidity. Another one with Le Grec.
