Red with brick rim.
Opened yesterday - integrated, complex nose - iron, garrigue, earth/hazelnut, cherry liqueur.
Round, mouth-filling with great textural sweetness. Shows cherry coulis, grilled/dried herb and brazil nut flavors. Significant, sneaky, acid/tannin chew creeps up on the front teeth keeping textural generosity in check.. This is not a monster wine at all, but delivers considerable pleasure on every front. Beautiful stuff and RFG.
$50 on release. 2000 was a great year for Grenache in the southern Rhone and that is very obvious here.
