Coto de Hayas Garnacha Centenaria 2012 $29 ★★★★½Garnacha-Centenaria

Inside this bottle is 100% Grenache crafted from 100 year old vines grown in Spain’s Campo de Borja region – and it’s darn lovely. This wine oozes exotic earthiness, where clove and caramel characters merge with prune, cherry, vanilla and pepper.  I really like the gum-tingling grip and solid length of flavour of this wine too.  In the words of my dear old dad, “It’ll put hairs on ya chest”. www.macvine.co.nz
