• There was no wine score on this wine but I enjoyed it.
• The immediate aroma that this wine produced was a strong barnyard smell. Additionally it also provided a dark orange hint as well which acutally complimented the previous scent. The bouquet also informed me that this wine was going to be spicy, which made sense since it was a Grenache. The initial taste was very spicy, and strong compenents of rich earthy qualties such as fresh soil. There was also small hints of unmarked vegetables, grippy hints of pepper, and parching bites of sweat on the final palette. It was almost like someone was stuffing a sock in my mouth, and this wine also produced a mysterious aftertaste flavor that I could not describe.
• I did not have this with food but if I did it would have been some sort of pasta with meatballs
