This is old vine grenache in a hot vintage from the warmest corner of southeast France on the Catalonian frontier....

Old vines certainly equip this Cotes Catalanes grenache with an extra layer of body fat and also stuffing to see it...

Fleshy, dense, very ripe, this old vine grenache offers load of fruit extract, verging on dried/jammy, but holding on...

Red florals, ripe cherry, strawberry, red licorice, cinnamon, spice, herbs and pepper. Medium acidity and medium plush tannin. The high alcohol (15% abv) provides a fuller bodied mouthfeel, and is nicely integrated with a lovely warming sensation rather than a burn. Excellent length. Drinking nicely now. Can age short term, but I wouldn't cellar past 3 years or so. Sept. 2020.
