Tasted blind with weekly tasting group, grenache theme. Double decanted to take to venue for tasting. Gave it 3 hours of decant. The initial funk on the nose had mostly blown off by the time we got to this bottle. Bright red fruits on the pallet, medium tannins for a young wine. Some estimated this to be older than it was. Will be better with cellar time.

Shared a bottle w Herb. Grenache. Medium body. Balanced red fruit, medium Acidity, medium tannins. Nice funkiness/earth which emerges as it opens up in the glass. Good wine. still young.

Heater week; 3/8/2024-3/17/2024 (Chicago, IL): Not my thing. Shows really unbalanced, with almost a lack of fruit on the nose and palate, but lots of alcohol and a missing midpalate. Disjoint.
