Monday, October 12, 2020 - Elegant, sweet and fresh, the wine is vibrant, floral, pure and clean with fabulous balance and lift on the palate leaving you with loads of sweet, red fruits in the finish. The wine is made using 100% old vine Grenache.

Thanks

Perhaps if you compared with 16 or 15, but for me, not on its own. That being said, 18 is a tiny bit better IMO.

Thanks
