  February 19, 2024 - GRAND TASTING #2: Decanted for 2 hrs. 90 mins glass time. Clear, dark purple/red color. Med, concentrated Grenache nose. This is great stuff. Superbly balance/integrated, med/full body, bacon, red fruit, black cherry, silky, smooth, rich, seamless, merlot-like, soft edges, resolved tannins, very long proper finish. Not hot or extracted. No reason to wait although this will keep a long time yet. Outstanding juice, nothing off.

  July 21, 2023 - Grenache Night 2023 (Black Sheep, Santa Barbara, CA): Silky, rich and energetic, with the freshness I recall from the best bottles but which was lacking in the last one I tried. Herbal notes alongside the ripe fruit. Very good concentration. Seamless and irresistible. Wears its alcohol level well (16.5%, contrary to the label, which says 15%).

  June 3, 2023 - Superb nose of morning roasted bacon, herbes de Provence, black salty cherries, mine de crayon, hint of mineral … Very very sappy black cherries, strawberries, lenght of 45 sec, still a lot of potential ahead!!

  February 27, 2023 - Seriously lovely. Hard to believe it's Grenache. Lovely though slightly subdued nose. Dark color, looks viscous. Silky smooth but big. Long finish. Delightfully complex.
