80% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, organic, 80 year old vines from Cotes du Rhone. Very rare coffee and spices nose on this wine, followed by a mouth of coffee syrup, molasses, bitter herbs, caramel and plum compote. Dark and sticky, quite opaque. I liked how this wine is balanced with almost no acid... its the play of milky sweetness against the bitter aftertaste. It successfully accompanied barley with mushrooms and leeks in bacon.$25 @ Blue Angel Wines, Brooklyn
