  1 hr air. For science. It’s of course way too early to judge this, but we’re gonna do it anyway. Loads of dark berries and plum, unobtrusive tannic structure, surprisingly light on its feet. Loads of potential. For now:
  Score: 93+. Relative to expectations: ++

  Deep purple almost opaque
  Ripe dense fruit
  High toned alcohol
  Tasty now, but needs time to integrate

  Very promising wine, but 2020 is not quite ready yet

  Dark in color, the wine pops with licorice, black cherries, black plums and flowers as soon as the wine hits your glass. On the palate, the richly-textured wine is lush, polished, deep, balanced and long. There is intensity, purity, length and depth of flavor with a creaminess to the tannins, along with chocolate, licorice and black pepper in the endnote. This will age quite nicely. The wine is produced from 95% old vine Grenache with 5% coming from various, assorted, allowable grape varieties. This is one of the wines of the vintage. Drink from 2025-2040.
