Gigondas L'Argnee VV, Perrin - Château de Beaucastel 2016

100% Grenache, from a 0.9 hectare sandy plot plot below the village, mostly Grenache planted 1890-1910.

Dark red. Has a well charged nose, giving mixed herbs, inner strength from effortless old vines fruit, mulberry red berries. This is big wine in a relatively velvet glove, its richness thorough and sustained. The finish is chunky, assertive. It’s a big wine for the long haul, lined with layers of dense red fruits.
