Description
Grenache, with a small amount of Shiraz, Mataro and Malbec vines scattered throughout the 1858 – 1864 plantings. This is a more heady wine than the 2021 North West Grenache, in part because of the hot vintage, and also because it’s from a warmer part of the vineyard.
Rich and throaty style, and don’t mind me, but echoes of Priorat here in terms of style. Blackberry, dried raspberry, liquorice, mint and dried herb perfume, but also kind of rosy too. It’s full-bodied, fleshy and rich in flavour, crushed stone, earth and sweet black tea, juicy baked red fruit, plenty of chewy tannin, a minor amount of warmth with some orange peel and dried herb, juniper and game meat, scorched peanuts, but cool acidity, and a lavish stony finish of excellent length. It’s quite the thing. Hold on tight. And yes, I love it.
95 Points, Gary Walsh - TWF.
