The Maris 2006 Grenache Old Vine suggests prunes
and distilled plum in a ripe, rather spirituous
nose. A hint of celery seed engenders a slightly
sweet-sour cast. That said, this is impressively
dense, rich raw material, a virtual liqueur de
Grenache that does not entirely lack a sense of
palate freshness. A very slightly dry spot in the
finish rather than heat seems to be the price
paid by this wine for its roughly 16.5 alcohol.
