Agree with other recent reviewers that this isn’t in the same class as past vintages. Torn between returning the other bottles I have or seeing if they add weight or complexity with more time. This used to be a great value wine, with a fuller, plush texture and more oak. The 2018 vintage is thinner, with a tinny quality, some tropical fruits and a short finish. No complexity in the aftertaste.

Baked berry notes, vanilla extract flavors prominent. A little primary at this stage, needs more time

Syrah and cinsault. A little smoke and cedar spice, otherwise a dull wine with not much to say, inelegant texture
