Giraud les Grenaches Pierre - One of the stars of the vintage, with its pure red, sweet, ripe, polished fruits, freshness and all of its silky, spice filled, elegant charms. This beauty was produced as you might expect from the name using 100% old vine Grenache.

One of the very few Grenache based special cuvées from the Southern Rhone this year. 15hl/hectar, ~20% lower than "normal". On the nose open and accessible, showing ripe cherry fruit and spices. On the palate detailed and again open, great depth and balance, great length. Impressive for 2013 but not in the same league as e.g. the 2012. 91-93+

Tasted this wine during the HWZ Virtual Wine tasting session tonight. Theme of the Session: Grenache.
Purple turning red. Lots of soya on the nose and palate. Dry leather, cigar box, and spices.
