Sine Qua Non Distenta II Grenache 2020 (750 ml) Tasting Notes
The Sine Qua Non Distenta II Grenache 2020 is a captivating expression of Grenache that showcases the artistry and finesse of this noble grape. With its deep ruby color and inviting aromas, this wine immediately captivates the senses.
On the nose, layers of ripe red fruits intertwine with hints of blackberry compote, dried herbs, and a touch of floral essence. There is an enticing complexity, with subtle notes of baking spices and cedar adding depth to the bouquet.
The palate is velvety and plush, unveiling a symphony of flavors. Juicy red cherries and wild berries take center stage, accompanied by undertones of black pepper and a hint of savory earthiness. The wine's supple tannins provide a silky texture, while vibrant acidity adds brightness and balance.
Critic Ratings
Tasted out of bottle, the 2020 Grenache Distenta II is total blockbuster stuff that's darker and richer than the 2021. Red and black fruits are joined by white pepper, fine leather and baking-spice notes. The palate is deep and full-bodied, but strong balance and polished tannins keep the power controlled. A long finish completes this concentrated, cellar-worthy Grenache.
It has barely budged in the interim and feels expectant, its youthfully compact character waiting patiently to blossom. The fruit remains tightly coiled, with floral and savory dimensions emerging gradually. Fine tannins and freshness give the wine poise despite its richness. Additional bottle age should allow the layered character to open fully.
