Saturday, May 29, 2021 - From the back label Old vine Grenache 1946 , handpicked partial whole bunch wild yeast unfixed and unfiltered 100 dozen made
Vintage conditions heatwave conditions in Nov 2009 resulted in vet low yields

Colour pale ruby slight bricking , slightly cloudy 14/15
Nose as commented earlier a bit of funk on the nose smoky bramble , whole bunch stalkyness , reductive which does partial clear after 24 hours dark fruit dark cherries plum , wild raspberries, dusty tannins interesting complexity as a result of aging 28/30
Palate med bodied , flavours from the nose , very savoury but not bitter , velvety mouthfeel ,dusty tannins , long finish 39/44
Overall my first Head Grenache will some age . It did change for the better on Day 1 IMHO 9/11
