Double decanted on day one. Finished day two. Clear improvement on day two. Very nice flower nose with dark fruits. Dark fruits follow on the pallet. Blue and stone fruit on the pallet with spice box at the end. Finish lingers.

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.

Double decanted for sediment and air about 90 minutes before consumption. Very good balance for a big wine. Tannins mostly resolved. Dark fruits and spice box on the nose, those follow to the pallet. Long finish. Have a few more and plan to wait 2-3 years for the next one.
