Purple red, dense. Eucalyptus and pomace aroma with something like VA but not quite, not surprising for a vatural fermentation. Not a defect in this context. We discussed this around the dinner table but couldn’t pin it down. Blackberry and very fresh flavors. After 30 minutes, red fruit flavors with a hint of prune emerge. Spicy aftertaste. A very different but tasty expression of Grenache

Super pleasing. Great texture not over the top in any way. Very subtle and screams ‘Grenache’ from the get go
