Big, uber ripe Chateauneuf from a great producer and a great vintage. Almost all Grenache (95+ %) from 110 year old vines aged in concrete vats. Extremely concentrated and complex - blackberry jam, crushed rock and spice. Tannins are beautifully smooth even at this young age. The finish lingers forever. The ABV is very high at 15%, but the wine has the concentration to balance it. 2015 vintage on Jan 11, 2019
