“It’s a brilliant Grenache offering perfumed notes of kirsch liqueur, truffles, herbes de Provence, and white flowers that develop beautifully with air. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied red with a seamless, layered mouthfeel, beautifully polished, fine tannins, and a rare mix of richness and elegance. You could safely put this up against the best Châteauneuf du Pape or Gigondas out there and it will do just fine, although its incredible sense of limestone-like minerality puts it much closer to Gigondas in style. It has another decade of prime drinking ahead of it.”
