I've said it before and I'll happily say it again. This wine is like the old boot. Ever reliable and it doesn't miss a beat.Bright in the glass, white pepper and earthy spice come to the fore quickly. Nicely balanced throwing up some mouth warmth; the stuff you could snuggle up to in front of the fire. I got a sense though, perhaps something was being held back. Considering it has only been in the bottle a year, some more age may reveal this.
All that said, a solid drop yet to let me down. If you like Grenache you'll jump on board with this pretty quickly.
