(not blind): Light garnet, light rim, good viscosity, floating sediment. Very Grenache typical nose, some rotting vegetable stink, cool and soft earthy red fruit, multilayered. Medium body, firm backbone, silky fruity acidity, very well balanced, satisfying. Medium to long finish, soft tannins and nice fruity acidity. Score: 50 + 3 for optic + 14 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 8 for overall = total score of 92.

(not blind): Very light garnet, bright, some sediment, high viscosity. Slow evolving but very nice nose of very sweet rotting red berries, seaweed, compost. Full to medium body, some red fruit, low acidity, sweet alcohol. Nice lingering finish. Score = 50 + 3 for otpic + 15 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 7 for overall = total score of 92.
Very good with almonds and hazelnuts. I retasted this wine after one day in the open bottle and it showed a slight cork - this was the slowest cork ever I experienced until now.
