Full-bodied, opulent and remarkably textured, the palate offers immense richness with a seamless, multidimensional character. Silky tannins provide exceptional refinement, while the wine’s extraordinary concentration is balanced by remarkable harmony and elegance. Jeb Dunnuck consistently ranks Sanctus Sanctorum among the finest young Grenache wines he tastes, describing the 2017 as a singular, magical wine of extraordinary quality.
