clear and bright medium lemon pronounced developing aromas vanilla walnut ripe pineapple, lemons, cream and tertiary aroma of cauliflower dry, creamy, medium plus acidity, high alcohol 14% full body, rich mouthfeel, long finish excellent with the exception of the alcohol The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like vanilla, walnut, green beans, lemon and pineapple. It tastes like honeydew, pineapple, banana, vanilla, oak, alcohol/hot and butterscotch. The body is full. The wine has oily texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

75% Grenache, 25% Syrah: deep ruby color, light nose with blackberry jam, flint and slate and bay leave aromas. The first attack is ripe rich fruit followed by cassis and balsamic elements. High alcohol. Slightly meaty and chewy texture. Great wine.
