  Excellent winemaking more than balances the high abv
  
  This vintage appears to be just gettinginto its stride: beautiful intense spice throughout

  Classy Grenache.
  Mid weight, spicy and smooth as silk but still not up to the 2017.

  Not the finesse and sophistication of the 17 or the power, fruit bomb and glycerine thickness of the 14.
  But still a lovely texture, nice blended red & dark fruit and easy to drink.

  Emmy has done another marvellous job of balancing 15% abv with controlled fruit acidity and sinuous tannins
  
  Decanted three hours, served 60-62F
  
  Paired beautifully with steak marchand de vins and d'affinois, Nora says even better with stilton.
  
  Way to start Christmas

  A beautifully perfumed nose of rose petals, raspberry and earth. It is full, fleshy and velvety in the mouth. There's perfectly ripe fruit flavours countered by savoury elements. Balance is perfect and length is terrific.
