"Murmurs of burnt cinnamon and leather accent brisk raspberry and sour-cherry preserves in this powerful but elegant Grenache (augmented by 5% each of Syrah and Mourvédre). Tasted in January 2021, its red-fruit flavors are still pure and vibrant, but reveal inflections of earth, smoke and fur. Plush tannins and a wisp of heat linger on the finish. Seductive now, the wine should continue to improve through 2035 and hold further."
