Sourced from vines aged between 40-150 years old, Cuvee Juveniles is a blend of old vine Grenache, Mataro, Carignan, Counoise and Shiraz that sees no oak maturation. Very deep black dark red colour with a bright dark red hue. The very fragrant and alluring nose offers up perfumed like scents of dark raspberries, blueberries and red liquorice followed by fresh herb, incense and spice notes. A delicious mix of juicy red and blue fruits engulf the mouth underscored by infusions of incense, fresh herbs and spicy pepper. Silky yet bright and fresh in its feel with velvety tannins and a long seductive conclusion. An excellent blend that delivers both intensity and great fruit purity.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Other Reviews....
Aromas of graphite, slate, and dark berry with some nutmeg. Medium-bodied with attractive fruit and fine, delicate tannins that give form to the wine and deliver fresh and medium fruit on the finish. So drinkable and delicious. Very savory. The crushed black pepper really comes through. 47% grenache, 32% mataro, 10% carignan, 9% counoise, and 2% syrah.
