Thursday, November 9, 2023 - Received partial bottle from my oenophile neighbor
14.5% abv
59% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 3% Counoise and 1% Vaccarèse.
2016 is the first bottling of de Nalys under the Guigal Label. Dark red on the pour; semi opaque in the glass. Fragrant nose of Dark Red fruit, Cherries and Raspberries. Medium-bodied, but full-flavored with ripe Blackberry, Plum and Cassis with hints of Chocolate and pepper spice. Nice smooth, round feel in the mouth, with supple tannins, leaving a slight fuzzy feel to the tooth. Ample, but not overpowering acidity. Pleasantly tart, lingering minerally finish . An elegant wine.
