Tasting Notes
Raisins, chocolate, slightly heated Grenache notes, but also a dense herbal spice, thyme, black pepper, cardamom, anise. Soft and full-bodied on the palate, silky to fine-grained tannins, a fairly stable acidity, and juicy underlying palate fruit that seems quite fresh. The finish is still comparatively concentrated, is accessible with very good ageing potential.
