Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 9, 2019 - Decanted 30min prior.
Cork was fully saturated and showed signs of seepage.
Garnet with burnt orange meniscus.

I don’t know what it is about grenache and exposure to air but it somehow seems that a bit of accidental contact through a faulty seal improves the wine vs perfectly sealed examples. I cannot explain it for such an oxidation prone varietal but it happens consistently with lots of late 90s rhone wines i have.
Anyway, this was a delicate and fine grenache. Still with fruit as well as the expected secondary development. Excellent.

70% grenache
20% syrah
10% cinsault
All concrete fermented and aged in foudres.

Drink or hold, this bt seemed fully mature for my tastes
14.5% abv
