Very surprising indeed considering ordinary nature of grenache! Nose is not great, but the finish on the pallate with hints of chocolate and plums. Alcohol level is unusually robust!!

Great nose - very mineral with some toasty notes. The palate has ripe, plush fruit, minerality and the finish has massive amounts of roasted coffee beans with a touch of chocolate. The alcohol is also a touch noticeable - hardly surprising given it comes in at 15.5. Overall this is a bit of a blockbuster but the backbone of minerality saves it. 89-90
