Grenache 1850 Ancestor Vine 2015

- 92 points -

Befitting the extraordinary history of these ancient vines, this incredibly complex wine speaks its own language. The brawny palate extends beyond wild raspberry and black cherry to also embrace liquorice, blackberry and soy sauce with a sprinkle of white pepper and bay leaf. Such concentration is rare in Grenache, although its strong acid seam and supple tannins ensure astonishing length through the hedonistic flavours.
