Fruit-driven. Dried cherries and cranberries, dried plum, Chinese pear, hint of eucalyptus. Some pepper on the finish. Finish long and warm, maybe throwing some heat. Tannins nearly completely tamed. I think this one is pretty much done. Time to drink up!

First of all this is amazing value. Dark red cherries, ripe plumbs and vanilla on the bouquet. Nicely balanced acidity and velvety tannins. Still lots of fruit present. Medium long aftertaste. This is drinking well now. Will not improve anymore I think but will easily last a few years longer.

An elegant Grenache blend that has good balance and has integrated extremely well in the bottle. It is drinking very well 10 years after the vintage.

Dark red. Black ripe cherries. Vanilla and oak. Very Nice balance. Will hold a few years longer to check how it evolves.

First aroma - tar, followed by sweet berries. Taste brings berries and a faint hint of pepper and herbs. Not too many tannins to tame. In its window.
