LET IT BREATHE FOR 45 MINUTES AND THEN EVERYONE AT THE TABLE (A MAGNUM) WHAT IS THIS IT IS WONDERFUL................AND THEY WERE RIGHT. IT CAN GET BETTER AND I WILL TRY ONE A YEAR BUT CERTAINLY A CROWD PLEASER AND A GREAT BOTTLE. CAPS NOT YELLING
Day 1: Grenache dominates, beautiful nose. Oak, very ripe dark red fruit, alcohol. Oaky and tannic finish.
Day 2: completely different wine and frankly much more enjoyable. Nose of ripe dark red fruit, dried herbs, soy sauce (?). On the palate, alcohol, ripe silky fruit, less oak than previous day. Finish still oaky, sweet tannins.
Three hours in on day 2: this just keeps getting better and better. Astonishing really. Oak is less up front and better integrated. Long long finish.
Will give it a couple years before opening another one. 93+

More integrated on second day. Worth a decant on first day?

Loved this just as much as almost 2 years ago. Plenty of dark fruits, super silky smooth with soft tannins. Superb!
