Domaines Lupier
El Terroir Old Vines Garnacha
Navarra, Spain

12 months in 2nd&3rd use French oak.
Made 30% less as very hot so many grapes had too much alcohol so they left many bunch on the vine.
This is slightly lighter than the 10' in mineral intensity, but there is some really powerful fruit here and with a very attractive freshness again with some lovely background herbal notes of thyme and juniper. Floral notes lean towards a very intense red rose, with time a more meaty character comes through like freshly hung salami.
In the mouth the 11' is a little lighter on its feet but still there are plenty of tannins but a bright acidity keeping freshness of red and black fruit.

ukiuki new year wine.non-edge taste first then sandy cacao taste appear. Do not feel well-balance but medium body could be easy-table wine.
