All the typicity of Vieilles Vignes

Robert Parker 91/100
All the panache and typicity of old Grenache vines, sometimes over a hundred years old, are expressed in this cuvée. Las Rocas Garnacha Vinas Viejas (Grenache Vieilles Vignes) has a complex, mineral bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit and spices. It gains in structure and complexity from 11 months' aging in oak barrels (60% American and 40% French). The wine is full-bodied and full-bodied, with a remarkably long, aromatic finish. Superb value for money!
