  One of the wines of the vintage, here you find black raspberries, spice box, flowers and red fruits on the nose. Lusciously-textured with silky fresh, pure kirsch that comes in layers and a long, refined, yet rich finish that offers depth and purity, and just a hint of chocolate mint on the backend of the finish. This beautiful wine is produced from 100% old vine Grenache. Drink from 2023-2038.

  Medium ruby appearance.
  
  Ripe but not overly sweet nose. Some soft spicing and a little vapour. Soft red Grenache fruits character, hints of cola and cream. Classy.
  
  The palate has super texture, the sweetness is checked, the whole is ample and on the full side of medium-bodied. Lovely acidity and good energy, and a sense of purity. This does feel very smart. Ripe red fruit but nothing overblown. Long and sandy.
