(100% grenache this vintage, all from century old vines): Glass-staining ruby. An intensely perfumed bouquet shows intense raspberry and boysenberry qualities, along with notes of lavender, anise and Asian spices. Coats the palate with sweet red and dark berry flavors, which show liqueur-like depth and power. Finishes sweet, spicy and long, with a serious whiplash of candied flowers and dark fruit. I underestimated this wine when I tasted it from cask last year.
