Sine Qua Non Shakti Grenache Blend 2014
...It offers up a deep garnet-purple color and notes of dried Mediterranean herbs, dusty earth, Chinese five spice and rose petals over a core of red currants, mulberries, red plums and black raspberries, plus a waft of chocolate covered cherries. Full-bodied, decadently concentrated and yet very, very pretty in the mouth, it delivers incredibly fine-grained, ripe tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing on a persistent—totally disarming—perfumed red fruit note. 1,199 cases of 750 milliliter bottles and 600 magnums were made.

Syrupy dark and roasted. Intense. A bit too much for me.

I believe I’ve had this before and dismissed it, but this bottle surprised me with a balanced savory note and hid its abv well. Gotta keep it

A very dark, powerful Grenache. Nicely rounded with no hard edges anywhere. Very nice.

2014 Vintage. 15.9% Alcohol. Still very young and needs more time.
