No joy. Some structure but without fruit; somewhat bitter. Although I detect no TCA it could be present in low concentration to rob the bottle of pleasant elements?

Terroir and 20% Nielluciu add distinctive, pleasing personality to 80% Grenache. Chewy but friendly

Pomegranate, cherry liquer, eucalyptus, bay leaf, graphite. Rounded-energetic acid, medium-full, juicy-satin texture, smooth velvet tannins, long sweet herbal finish. Southern Rhône drinkers will love this, also makes for beautiful lamb/red meat pairings. Excels beyond price point.

One of my favorite whites in recent memory. Very clean and crisp. Served with roasted snapper. Was a hit
