Domaine du Bon Remede, Ventoux 2019 'Vieilles Vignes'

The nose suggests carbonic maceration - juicy fruits - but there is much greater depth on the palate. Surprisingly rich but without heaviness. Quite sweet fruit. Lovely old-vine Grenache character. Velvety, well-balance and full- bodied. The finish is slightly spicy. Was £12
