"Grenache Noir Lula Ilse Single Vineyard 2022 is aged in 300-liter French oak barrels. The pure bouquet presents aromas of raspberry coulis, white pepper and light touches of clove and black olive. The medium-bodied palate with supple tannins is very harmonious and precise, with a persistent, sophisticated finish that testifies to very assiduous winemaking. Superb. 2025-2040" (Vinous 2023)
