2018 vintage. Umm...yeah..about this wine...showstopping and seductive. Both big and supple. Deluxe plushy. Tannins relegated to future considerations. Supposedly 90% Grenache and difficult to fathom given both the intensity of dark color and the softness in said dark color. Wouldn't trot this out for someone's first big CDP as representative of the appellation but as a finisher in a lineup of 10+ CDP's? Absolutely. This is one of those wines that leads to an (unhealthy) obsession. Burn after reading and you never saw this.
