CUVÉE NICOLAS VIEILLES VIGNES GRENACHE NOIR 2021 IGP Côtes Catalanes |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DOMAINE LAFAGE |
Deep violet-red colour. This 100% Grenache has gently spicy, ripe, juicy, black-cherry-Damson-plum fruit along with some sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, spicy, ripe, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, sandalwood-driven, minerally, bright, slightly off-dry finish. This ready-to-drink crowd-pleaser has 15% alcohol and 6 g/L residual sugar with lot number L23250 on the lower part of the glass bottle. It was aged in 600 L oak barrels for 8 months on the lees which adds some ichness and mouthfeel. |
