Inky purple/red in colour a nose that is dominated by the 14.5% alcohol content, very subtle black currant beneath that sitting on top of very faint asphalt. Weird nose. Tempted to leave it and give it more air and hope it develops over time, then again, I also want to hook into it and try […]

This wine (65% Grenache, 25% Mataro and 10% Shiraz) had a fairly alcoholic fruity nose – nothing of much note – perhaps dried apricot.
