Lots of the right ingredients in here but still a coiled spring

which are intended to show aspects of the terroir rather than to be special luxury wines

Bastide St Vincent, Gigondas other_regions_australia dense and powerful broad-shouldered flavorsTasted blind. Transparent garnet. Rich sweetness but this tastes really quite fine very Grenache. Really rather charming with rose petals and sweetness. Not at all unlike a Gredos Garnacha! Just up my street. Great balance and very drinkable. Quite long.
