2021 Torbreck Les Amis

Winery Tasting Notes:

Crimson with a brilliant hue. Immediate, aromatic red fruits such as dried raspberry, red cherry, pomegranate, red currant and cranberry. Secondary notes of Chinese five spice, sarsaparilla, star anise, cloves and petrichor, balanced by cinnamon spice and vanilla pod. The palate is sumptuous and decadent with mouth-filling fruits, texture and depth finishing with cleansing acidity that elongates the finish. Old vine Grenache from tiny berries drives complexities giving full-bodied depth with firm but balanced and drying tannins that are firm and grippy and give the wine plenty of time to mature in the cellar for 10-15 years. Serve at 16c/60F with game meats or charcuterie or Asian roast duck.
