Old vine grenache (60-80yo) two thirds destalked is the heart of this excellent wine aged in 500ltr barrels for two years.
It has a beautiful deep plum colour, and a fresh black cherry nose intermingled with violets, thyme, ink and smoke. On the palate the wine is rich but freshened by a discreet minerality, with liquorice nuances of violet zan (french sweet!), dark chocolate and menthol supported by old vine tannins. For drinking now to 2030+.
