This Grenache caught me off guard a bit. The nose is promising with hints of dark berries and spice suggesting a very structured wine. Sadly, the palate was soft, almost flaccid, with the acidity dominating the tannins. The fruit was there but faded quickly. I think they could have done with a little more extraction. I love Wrath wines and was expecting more aggressiveness, but I have a soft spot for Grenache, so I tend to be a little more forgiving.

Surprisingly closed out of the bottle; required some significant air to open up. Very clean and pretty; dark developed fruit present. Fine structure, plenty of acid, integrated tannins. With the low abv (~13.4%) there is no doubt many years ahead for this wine.

Deep fruit, light body. Light herbal notes all around. Would suggest decanting or thorough aeration.
