Vieux Solitaire
Grande Réserve Maury Sec Grenache Blend
Maury, Roussillon, Languedoc Roussillon, France
En mag. No notes. This is probably the last time we drink this as my uncle might eventually pull out of the project. We had it along a chapon (eunuch chicken, for lack of a better way to describe it) and it went super well. Potatoe pumpkin purée, chestnuts, prunes, apple purée... This was a great Christmas lunch and a great wine to complement it. The wine is grenache forward with licorice and black fruits. Very good maury sec.

A Grenache blend. Dark inky color, hints of baked plums and other matured red fruits.

Nov 17th, 2021Superb nose with licorice, blackberry, garrigue, other red fruits. This is very intense and inviting. The palate shows a very nice strong acid drive and a great width, with matter on the sides. Licorice and blackberry play back to back notes all along. The mouthfeel is soft, until mid palate where some dusty tannins spice things up a notch. Very long finish with that tannic grain, licorice and blackberry. I'm probably biased as this is my uncle's wine (he bought shares in the vineyard 2 years ago) but this is one of the best grenache blend I've had. More Maury sec please!
