Screwcap

This has a good sense of freshness and precision. It has the characteristic sweet strawberry fruit of ripe Grenache with a touch of menthol underneath. Graceful, rounded, the tannins are subtle and discreet. Just perfectly balanced. Hard to imagine how it will age, but I suspect it will be interesting with more time in bottle. Delicious now though. Has the finesse and characteristic energy of Grenache on sand, and a long finish. From 75-year-old bush vines.
