Note di degustazione
Displaying a classic ruby color, the 2017 The Third Man Grenache opens to a nose of spiced cherry and subtle undertones of dried herbs, lavender and black pepper before offering up hints of a soft rockiness and stemminess in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is straightforward yet expressive on the palate, framed with red fruit flavors of cherries, raspberries and plum, with elements of black and red spices that flutter with components of dusty potpourri. Notes of red spiced tea appear on the mineral finish. This wine is a great value.

Moderately saturated medium red. Reticent aromas of dark cherry, licorice and black pepper, plus a suggestion of exotic white fruits (pineapple?); less floral than the 2016 release. Juicy, sharply delineated, penetrating wine with cherry and licorice flavors and a fine-grained texture. Good ripeness and smooth texture here if not quite the flavor complexity or floral lift of the 2016. But this wine shows more energy and personality than the Mourvèdre bottling and is also longer on the aftertaste. Savory more than sweet, and quite distinctive for its pineapple note.
