Screwcap, 14.5% alc. No formal notes; consumed quickly at a dinner party.
A surprising touch of rust to the colour already.
Berry compote, some whole bunch spiciness, and attractive juicy fruit on the nose.
Nice marriage between fruit, acid, and sandy tannins. Good length. Nicely structured Grenache.

Very nice on the first night. In fact still held on and got better on the second night. Strawberry and a sense of oak. may or may not be oak aged.
Revisit in 2021, will likely have upside to it.
Hold.
