Here ‘s a bit of what Englishman Matthew Jukes wrote about this incredible wine …. My enthusiasm is the same.
“Strap yourself in for a roller coaster ride. because this spectacular wine is a white knuckle treat…. This dense. dark brooding red is made from the woefully underrated red grape Grenache…. Grenache forms the engine room of Chateauneuf du Papes. and it is this complex flavour spectrum and inert power that Prodigal Grenache has in spades….. You must decant it because there is a lot of energy in this wine that needs to be organised. ordered and aligned in a decanter before you dive in…… I tasted it last week and went back to it over the next 3 days and it kept opening up and revealing more and more layers of crushed plum and spice… Staggering value for money. this is a wine that is drinking beautifully now. but has five or more years ahead of it to perform wonders for you. ”
Silver BEST IN CLASS 2009 International Wine & Spirit Competition. Tasting notes from the judges at IWSC … Dark magenta colour with an earthern red edge. Old vine complexity on the nose. graphite. ironstone. roasting spices. currants and voluptuous framboise. This is a very beautiful. complex and generous Grenache. fleshy and sweet. dusty tannins and a long earthy herbal peppery finish. A very serious wine which is deliciously approachable.
