A superb Banyuls that's made from 90% Grenache and 10% Carignan, the ruby colored NV Banyuls Reserva (which has a portion of the blend vinified outside the cellar; i.e. left out in the sun) offers lots of dried figs and plum fruit, almond, bitter orange, chocolate and sweet spice go to go with a medium to full-bodied, rounded, supple and layered feel on the palate. This beauty has loads of character, is perfectly balanced.
