2020 David & Nadia Grenache

The 2020 Grenache Noir has a light nose of red plum and earthy notes, although it lacks the concentration that I found in the preceding vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red fruit, leather and clove. Good length but forward and gentle. Not a long-term proposition like other vintages, but still, this is a fine Grenache.

Full bottle 1,300 g. Transparent mid crimson. Something high-toned on the nose. Richer than the average Spanish Garnacha. Rather sweet and a tad heavy with some tannin still in evidence, though after 24 hours it was much more appealing. Fresh and sweet. But it does need air to show its beguiling self. (JR)
