2022 Nine Popes

$110.90

Settled, bright mid garnet colour. Initial bouquet is still some musky Grenache but a stronger, darker black fruit liqourice/anise scent with some new cedar oak noted mixed in. Still sweetly scented but a more muscular aromatic. A lovely plush entry into the mouth. A rich, smoothly composed palate, with real mid palate sweetness and again, long spicy/sweet anise flavours combined with finely toned tannins.

Much like the great Grenache wines of the world, this wine will reward patient cellaring of 25+ years. The complex delicacy of the blend will elegantly complement duck, quail and other rich dishes.
