The debut vintage of Les Amis, the 2001, is 100% Grenache fashioned from 102-year old head-pruned vines, and aged in 100% new French oak. It tips the scales at 15% alcohol, but somehow manages to conceal its oak. A majestic red of great ripeness, richness, and copious quantities of kirsch liqueur, pepper, and spice, there is not a hard edge to be found in this dense, full-bodied offering. Sadly, there are only 100 cases of this compelling wine. It should be consumed over the next 5-7 years.Importer: Deborah Gray, The Australian Wine Connection, Carlsbad, CA; tel. (760) 438-5714
