02 Chateau Grande Cassagne, Costieres de Nimes "G.S." Le Triage

Very fruit forward yet never cloying. Subtle French oak lends such a small hint of vanilla that it almost seems like a natural element of the fruit. Juicy dark grapes and savory blackberries; classic old-vine grenache. The dry dark cocoa powder finish makes this is a surprisingly complex sleeper of the vintage.
