Finally began to soften after 2 hours in the decanter. If I were to guess I'd say this is mostly Grenache blended with Syrah. Went excellently with a black pepper pasta and arugula dish; the black pepper and arugula spicy brought out (red) berry-like notes. 88-89

A little more lithe and slightly less tannic than previous bottles. Coming into its own.

Deeply concentrated, it finally began revealing more of its fruit after 3-4 hours. Went very well with a roasted chicken and garlic sauce. 88+

Concentrated and a tad hot upon opening. Need to give this a 2 hour decant next time. 87-88

Robust Rhône! (Blackwell's Wines & Spirits): Slight tartness on a vibrant cherry palate. The 14.5% alcohol content is almost not perceivable! Outstanding QPR. 87-88
