The 2007 To the Rescue Grenache Vin de Paille appears to be a much improved version of the 2005 Grenache Vin de Paille I tasted last year. It possesses 295 grams of residual sugar per liter as well as remarkable acidity, sweetness, and richness, an inky/purple color, and classic aromas of cassis. In spite of its weight, intensity, and unctuosity, the wine is surprisingly delicate and nuanced on the palate.

Distinctive and stunning, this dense wine starts out syrupy, luscious and grapey, showing ripe blackberry, date and cassis flavors, with peppercorn details, that evolve to distinctive chocolate raspberry torte on the finish, with warm, firm tannins.
