d'Arenberg Derelict Vineyard Grenache 2009
Earthen and leathery notes, distinctly savoury marked with tapenade and elements of prune. Savoury - a word I kept coming back to - and here with this wine a significant point of difference from the many sweet, overly-confected examples you see.
Assertive acid that sweeps forward in a singular movement, delivering complex waves of flavour. Good drying tannin, facilitating excellent spice-tinged length. 93 - Very Good
