The 2018 Pandora Grenache has a medium ruby-purple color and alluring aromas of blueberry and red and black cherry jam with tones of powdered sugar, aniseed, orange peel and salami, offering up more aromatic nuances as it airs in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a balance of intense red fruit and savory tobacco tones, its layered flavors calling you in for another sip. Structured with fine, powdery tannins and refreshing bursts of acidity, the long finish is still youthfully coiled. Its density and latency suggest it will evolve in bottle over the next few years and offer savory complexity after a decade or more in the cellar.
