GRAPE VARIETIES: GRENACHE (80%), SYRAH, CINSAULT
ALCOHOL BY VOLUME: 14,5%

Appearance: Clear, medium garnet.

Clean nose of medium(+) level of intensity, developed. Aroma characteristics: strawberry, kirch and (hints of) raisins with subtle notes of garrique, sweet-spice and medicine box.

Dry on the palate with medium(+) level of acidity and medium(-) level of ripe tannin. Medium(+) level of alcohol, medium(+)-bodied. Medium level of intensity. Aroma characteristics mirrored on the palate, with redcurrant-like acidty on the medium-long finish.

Good for its price as well as for its age! There is still enough fruit left to harmonize with the subtle funky/bitter tertiary notes. Ready to drink, but will not improve.
