December 1, 2020 - This has improved with age. We've had the same vintage on previous years and it was a bit harsh. While still showing some medium tannins, the soft and matured fruit makes this a great food wine. Full-bodied and full mouth feel. Long finish. Really enjoyed it.

December 14, 2017 - A lot of alcohol upfront that mostly dissipated after being open for over an hour. Not much fruit on the nose but there is a lot of tobacco and smoke. Long finish. Great taste of Grenache.

June 1, 2017 - Tasty fruit. Soft tannins and full mouth feel. A few lauers of flavor. Glad we have a lot more in the cellar. Should be good for another few years.

November 15, 2015 - The aromas remind me of blackberry syrup poured over dark earth. When tasted, the syrup delivers a huge burst of blackberry flavors up front. Some acidity comes in on the mid palate, and for a moment things balance out enjoyably. But, the heavy fruit starts and ends well on top of everything else. It's dark an juicy. It's a bit much for me now. I could see it mellowing out with age, and I also think that some folks would very much enjoy it as it is today.
