Licorice, vanilla, black fruit, perfume, candy on the nose. Ripe red fruit, oak, licorice on the palate. Moderate to high acid, grippy tannin, astringency draws the palate a fair bit. Warming alcohol but not particularly hot...more like 14.5 than the 14% alc. declared. That'll drink. I still prefer cooler climate Grenache.
