50:50 Grenaches Noir and Blanc.
Darker tawny than most. Rich and pruney on the nose. Very sweet and simpler than many with quite a bit of chew on the end. Relatively young! (JR)
A hint of rancio on the nose here but the focus is on dried fig and apricot, together with a lightly nutty savoury quality. Glossy on the palate, this is fine yet intense, with an almost Madeira-like quality. Focusing to the finish, this is long and fine a very moreish glass of wine with a saline note that lingers and prompts another glass.
