Schild Old & Survivor Vine Grenache 2019

It's from two vineyards, one planted in 1926 and the other in 1985. The one planted in 1985 is considered an old vineyard, which makes me feel old. It's a fine grenache. It feels quality from the outset. It's quite licoricey, red and black, with raspberry, sweet spice, subtle clove and graphite-like notes whispered through. It has a well-managed firmness; just enough. Oak influence feels relatively minor but drinkability feels relatively major. Drink date: 2020-2032. Score - 93.
