d'Arenberg, The Derelict Vineyard Grenache, 2020 Alpasion Wines On the nose the wineThis is not soft, squashy strawberry Starburst Grenache. This is real Grenache. Serious Grenache. Grenache with an attitude. It has the most phenomenally complex aroma of wild berries, pepper, mushroom, gravel and iron. Depth, intensity and generous structure. Wild strawberries and peppery spice dance amid earthy undertones and brooding tannins. Decant to really show its true potential, then savour it slowly. Drink now or over the next ten years.
