Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 24, 2018 - Sat, 3/24/18, $2 Tasting (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): [Judging from notes of previous vintages, LIKELY something like 80:20 Grenache: Mourvedre, & 14.5% or so ABV.]

N: RIPE, jammy berries with smoke & poss some choc; Poss some garrigue?

P: LM body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (threshold R.S.?) met by firming astringency which morphs into a LONG, bitterSWT finish with notes of very, VERY fine tannins which still retain the wine's init swtness. Interesting in a stylistic way, & could improve through '18, then drink for 2-3 yrs more. My VG, poss VG+. [This vendor's $12.95 is ~ $2 < than the only other current wine-searcher listing.]
