It’s become a grenache worth following. It’s good every year now. This gets the balance of sweet fruit, savoury herb and woodsy spice notes just right. If there’s oak it’s barely noticeable; if there’s warmth it’s complementary. Tannin, earth-shot, has just enough grunt to it as well. Nice one.

Deep, dark red/purple colour, with a richly spicy and quite complex bouquet, which is surprisingly deep, firm and structured for a pure grenache. A structured grenache with backbone and length to the palate. It's a classic style. Some cherry cough medicine notes. There's a superb balance of sweet, ripe, almost jubey, berry and spice fruit as well as grip, spine and persistence. It would age well, too.
