Birichino Vino - Grenache Vieilles Vignes 2013 75cl Bottle

Product Description

Even at the age of 100, George Besson's ungrafted vines are positively pulsing with vitality, producing wines evocative of lavender, black pepper, & sappy, morello cherry fruit. It is often & appropriately used to describe old vine grenache, for the inner core of this wine, seems extracted from deep within the earth. Blessed with fine, integrated tannins, a lithe body, & a powerful reserve of fruit, this grenache can hold its own against the spiciest sauces invented, soothing the heat & providing a peppery counterpoint to hot-tempered BBQ preparations & cold, smoked chorizo alike. With a year in bottle, the rambunctious red fruits settle down a shade, & while still remaining supple, more evolved notes of kirsch liqueur & a touch of aromatic cedar surface. Savour over a smokin' hot girl with spring lamb with rosemary, elk or any other large horned animal], or seared tuna steaks
