2013 vintage Purple-red, slight butter and veg note in nose, round mouthfeel, cherry, mint, barrel-smoke and blackberry in finish with slight astringency on back of tongue. Tasty, needs time to open.

Big hands or little bottle? Strong tannins, very structured.

Grenache loaded, juicy red and blueberry fruit, perfumed and attractive nose, palate follows the nose but lacks complexity. It is well made and clean, with a good level of acidity to balance the fruit weight but for the money I was hoping for a bit more substance and structure.
