Popped and poured unfortunately. Dark fruits, oak, smooth mouthfeel. Nice solid blend for the price.

This bottle showed very nicely. Decanter 2 hours. Nice rich nose, dark fruits, complex in mouth and showing it's age very nicely. Chocolate, earth tones, dark fruits. Will last a while longer.

Decanter 3 hours, drank over next 3. Grenache blend. Upset to open so early and try as it was my only one, but wanted to try. Very dark fruits, some oak, extracted. Smooth in mouth. Sweet - chocolate desert like, a meal itself. Big, intense Grenache blend. Need 2 years minimum.

I have had mostly hits with this wine. This one was not as good, but still really solid. Big fruits, chocolate, spice. A little too sweet and long on the finish. Drink now.
