...hitting it on all cylinders, with a floral, red and black berry aromas, as well as balsamic notes with just hints of spices and smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and a silky texture that makes it very pleasant and easy to drink. Drinking beautifully today, it should last quite a bit. Drink 2016-2021.

14 months in French oak (2nd use) Good, fresh vintage Beautiful nose showing complex and powerful black cherry and sweet liquorice notes with a real granitic minerality along with intense violets, light touch of wet tabacco and wild herbs. Amazing structure. The palate shares this structure and has blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry with a very long, ripe finish. Outstanding but still a pup!

It takes about an hour and a half for the wine to come to its own terms, but the it becomes one of the grandest Grenache i have ever tasted

Two hours of aeration required. But then! Very mild funkiness, meaning beef and/or graphite, blends in very harmoniously. Hardly tannic but still medium-bodied. Killer qpr @ €17.

Dark fruit, good ripeness, earthy nose and palate. Med + acidity and tannins , cooler more focused than nose.
