Rich, dense, and spirituous, this Grenache boasts flavors of prunes and plum, with a hint of celery seed. A slightly sweet-sour note leads to a dense, raw material with a touch of palate freshness.

CHATEAU MARIS2006 OLD VINEGRENACHE 90points “The Maris 2006 Grenache Old Vine suggests prunes and distilled plum in a ripe, rather spirituous nose. A hint of celery seed engenders a slightly sweet-sour cast. That said, this is impressively dense, rich raw material, a virtual liqueur de Grenache that does not entirely lack a sense of palate freshness. A very slightly dry spot in the finish – rather than heat – seems to be the price paid by this wine for its roughly 16.5% alcohol. “ – David Schildknecht Issue Date: June 2009 Crafted from biodynamically and organically grown grapes.
