  Concentrated fruit up front with notes of blackberry, boysenberry, and cherry, transitioning to notes of vanilla, oak, chocolate and earth. Made in a new world style. Could easily mistake this for a well-made Aussie GSM. It is still lively at 14 years old, and can probably go to 20, at least. 15.6% ABV. 40% grenache; 40% syrah, 20% mourvedre.

  Amazing, at peak !!
  Perfect cork, easily removed. Dark burgundy color with no evidence of oxidation, clarity medium. Consumed over two days, lively fruit and acid on day one, softened, more brooding, and deep on day two. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, and Garrique. Flavors of rhubarb, black cherry, and rose hips with a hint of licorice with a long finish. A very balanced flavorful Rhone blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and 20% Mourvèdre. This is an age worthy wine with more years of life left, unfortunately this was my last bottle of this vintage in my cellar. Great fruit and a great winemaking effort.

  Dark red in color. BlackBerry, cherry, chocolate, licorice on nose and palate. Decanted for 90 minutes. Served with Elk and Beef, and paired beautifully.

  Still, quite deep in color, Blackberries, Black cherries, blueberries, chocolate, and licorice in the nose. Deep concentrated berry fruit, with raspberries, spice, and chocolate in the flavor. Nice complexity, full bodied, and a medium to long finish.

  Deep dark color. Big nose of dark red fruit.
  Raspberry and blackberry at first with spice and just a bit of leather following. This is a hint of camphor mixing in on the earthy finish which goes in for a long time. The texture is incredibly rich with fine tannins coating the mouth. The balance is wonderful.
  This wine is big but so elegant. Through all the cascade of flavors the fruit never goes away.
  One of the best LC I have had.
  This wine is in its prime but I wouldn't be surprised if it lived for many more years. But why take a chance.
