The 2019 Grenache Distenta I is gorgeous. It offers up effusive aromatics, bright, punchy varietal fruit and fabulous balance. There's an extra dimension of fruit plushness, vis-a-vis the 2019 that is so alluring. Plush, silky tannins wrap things out in style. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2022)

2020 vintage. Heat, grip, fruit, body...all in spades. The kind of wine you're better off tracing over the course of being open for three days/nights. And it'll more than hold up over that time period. Will you??01.18.25.

Wow, what a great wine. Needed decanting. I was worried it would be too young, but it is not; will be great to keep the other bottles longer though. Great nose and amazing how well the high alcohol content is integrated - very subtle and not off-putting at all. Intense wine with red and dark berries that also give it a nice acidity level. Vanilla notes and amazingly smooth well-integrated tannins. This might get even better with more air, but it is already a fantastic wine, glad I opened it tonight.
