Immediate hit of spice with some animal (?) notes greets the nose. The palate is supple and smooth with the spice and further herbal notes returning for a long, satisfying finish.

Delicious with an impeccable air of elegance this is something a Grenache lover should not miss out on. Nothing OTT here, just a very good wine. Recommended.
