100% Grenache Noir/ Deep ruby to garnet color with slight bricking at the rim—a sign of bottle age. The nose is rich and expressive, offering aromas of dried black cherry, fig, raspberry jam, dark chocolate, sweet spice, and hints of roasted coffee and candied orange peel. On the palate, this fortified wine is sweet, full-bodied, and velvet-textured, with well-balanced medium acidity that keeps it lively and not cloying. The flavor intensity is high, showcasing ripe black fruit preserves, cocoa, licorice, cinnamon, and a touch of dried herbs and leather as it opens. The finish is long and warming, carried by the wine’s residual sugar, integrated alcohol, and a lingering note of dark fruit and spice. Despite its richness, it remains elegant and structured, ideal for slow sipping or pairing with dessert.
Food Pairing: Dark chocolate torte, blue cheese, spiced nuts, black forest cake, roasted figs, flourless chocolate cake, and espresso-rubbed meats.
