TASTING NOTE: The 2015 IGP Cotes Catalanes Nicolas is a sensational value that's made from 100% Grenache. Offering tons of ripe black cherries, blueberries, spice and flowers, it has loads of pure fruit, a sexy, voluptuous style and beautiful length on the finish. It should drink nicely for 2-3 years. Drink Date: 2016-2019. Score - 92 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, April 27, 2016) |
