The 1997 Grenache (15.8% alcohol from 60-year old vines) exhibits a Chateau Rayas-like flamboyant, kirsch liqueur and raspberry-scented nose that saturates the olfactory sense. Explosive in the mouth, with full body, terrific purity, and a spectacularly layered, long, lusty finish, it deserves a "Wow!" Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
