Quite dark and dense, generous and ripe, this Grenache offers a mix of red and black fruits. The flavors continue onto a finish that’s rich with kirsch and coffee. — (3/1/2013) —90

This is plenty ripe, with alcohol just under 15%. Fruit flavors are a little over the top, getting into pruney, or at least a cooked, compote character. But you’ll find berries galore, the acidity to balance and a streak of bark in the tannins.——P.G.(10/1/2011)—— 87
