A 100% Grenache from vines averaging 65 years of age, the 2021 IGP Côtes Catalanes Nicolas (it does include 15% of the previous vintage) spent just eight months in demi-muids prior to bottling. A terrific effort for near-term consumption, it delivers subtle hints of garrigue, crushed stone and licorice, all on a bed of ripe black cherries. Full-bodied, round and expansive, framed gently by silky tannins, it finishes long and harmonious.

A flavorful grenache, full of red plums, redcurrants, potpourri and raw spices. Medium- to full-bodied palate with lightly chewy tannins and plenty of dried strawberries. Drink now.
