  Almost 5 years since my last bottle, and impression is quite the same, if slgihtly more subdued at this stage. High-toned, super elegant Burgundian texture and focus, flowers and roasted strawberries, yet hit with a bit more overt alcohol, which tips it slgihtly. Tannins clench up after a couple hours.

  This is one of the lightest colored Spanish wines I’ve ever seen. I think some Roses from the south are darker than this. But it’s quite good. I don’t get any of the pepper that lighter Grenaches usually have but lots of strawberry. Quite nice.

  light red with some brownish / blackish glimmers. black cherries on the nose, licorice, sweet cinnamon. aromas are light, yet focused. tart cherries, hibiscus and cola in the mouth. what it lacks in sweetness it makes up in delicious acidity. just a touch of tannins in the back. austere, sexy, but at the same time less focused than the nose.

  This is a wow wine. Striking in so many ways. Color is very light, transparent ruby-garnet - and captures light like a precious gem. Nose is elegant - wild strawberry, warm soil, dried flowers. In the mouth, it’s the most elegant, lithe Grenache I’ve ever tasted - delicate wild strawberry, more dried flowers, leaf matter, assertive acid, thrumming baseline of cinnamon/clove, crushed rocks, super refined tannins that caress like raw silk, and an impressive, attention grabbing finish. Layers of pretty dark fruit start to appear after a couple hours - blackcurrant and huckleberry. 94+
  
  Day 2, has closed up a bit, exhibiting a firmer profile, with more aggressively grippy tannins and less fruit. Would recommend drinking soon before it shuts down, or waiting 10+ years...
