Cirillo Grenache Old Vine 1850 2012 Bottle:12 Aged for up to 18This Grenache is more about the variety than the oak. The tannins are soft, with great length. The balance between the primary fruit and the acid make this a beautifully seamless wine that mimics Rhone styles. The wine was matured in aged seasoned hogsheads for 24 months. The final wine has aromas of dark berry fruit, dried herbs and spice. The palate is medium to full bodied with intense yet subtle delicate flavors of cherry, aniseed, white pepper
