Über zwei Tage getrunken, dabei am ersten deutlich stärker empfunden.
In der Nase viel reife Beerenfrucht, minimal eingekocht, dazu viel Graphit und relativ verhaltene Grenache-Würze. Dafür deutlich floral und mit einem gewissen Lift.
Am Gaumen saftig, überraschend schlank und mit viel feinem Tannin. Auch hier recht dunkel und mit deutlichen Süßholz-Lakritz-Noten.
Im Abgang vor allem am zweiten Tag recht knapp, es bleibt etwas Karamell stehen.

A little pricy for what it is; but nevertheless this was a luxurious Grenache with all sorts of lovely raspberries, licorice, herbs, chocolate and plums, velvety texture and good freshness. Could probably be stored another ten years if you like.

Essence of Grenache. A marvelous wine in the making. But this is not ready, and that's a verdict I usually don't hand out to all that many wines, especially not Grenache wines! Super tight on the nose, raspberry-licorice on the palate. Fresh, smooth texture but some mild heat on the finish, very fine tannins. But so much structure. Very much like one of the better Ch9dP that I have ever tasted. Give it ten years.
