"(55% Grenache, 40% Carignan and 5% Merlot; the crop level was reportedly just 15 hectoliters per hectare) Saturated ruby. Superripe Grenache-dominated aromas of roasted berries and melted chocolate. Rich, dense and large-scaled, but with firm minerality and brisk acids almost magically giving the superripe flavors a cool aspect. Flavors of graphite, licorice and liquefied minerals. An impressively weighty wine with excellent thrust and grip." Vinous, Jul 2003 |
