"Lighter in color this year, Soldaat 2021 Old Vine Series is bright with aromas of ripe, crisp red fruits that balance with a bouquet of powdery cherry blossoms. Medium-bodied and 13% alcohol, the palate is fresh yet possesses a nervous energy that unfolds as the wine settles on the palate before revealing a delicious tannic grip. Grenache has a fine, floral finish and will need a little more time in bottle to blossom, but will drink beautifully over the next 12 to 14 years. Give it time, and your patience will be rewarded.
