WineDiva's Review

Fragrant, generous, textural.
Of this old vine Garnacha and its sibling, the Garnacha and Syrah blend, this one is the stand-out.
Exceedingly aromatic, it doles out fragrant blueberry, raspberry and cherry twizzlers aromas layered with coconut, exptic spices, chocolate, vanilla and licorice. It is generous on the palate with textural tannins to bit into. Chocolate covered blueberries, sarsaparilla, fine spice and chocolate flavours abound in the mouth.
