2002 d'Arenberg The Custodian Grenache

Purchased as a mature re-release from the cellar door for $25. Powerful nose, with some alcohol heat. Lovely earthy aromas with cinnamon and clove, top class. Good length palate with plenty of tannin that cut through our spicy chicken. Luscious raspberry/blackberry fruit, maybe lacking a little on the back palate, but as it opens up, seems far more balanced. Drinking beautifully. Our score 89/100. Buy again, a bargain, if only you could.
