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)

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.
