Beckmen 07 Grenache Purisma

 Powerful bouquet of licorice, mint, pine sap and pine tar, though all the red berries and cherries take center stage. In the mouth there is layer upon layer of sweet (not candied) fruit, following the nose. Nicely balanced and with good structure, there is perhaps a hint of heat on the transition into the finish, which is all licorice and dark cherry fruit. Big and juicy and forward, this will hopefully settle into its own with a couple years of resting.
