Ultimately a disappointment considering the price and hype. 1+ hr decant. Jammy and slight alcohol on the nose, a little vanilla as well. Lots of black cherry and jamminess on the palate, finishing with a touch of barrel spice and vanilla. Not the complexity or balance I expected from Garnacha nor a wine at this price point. Finish decently long, but I will not be purchasing this again.

Still drinking very well. Golden straw color, typical blanc de noirs flavors however at this age the brightness of the red fruits has been softened and some butterscotchy complexity added in.

Nice combination of acidity, red fruits, and other complexity built in after 60 min decant.
