  From 75cl, perfect cork, decanted 1 hour. Compared to my outstanding previous bottle (CT TN 07.09.2019) this one was closed, tannic and surly. The initally explosive sage/thyme/garrigue scent vanished after decanting; entry thick, heavy and broodingly inexpressive; mid-palate vastly concentrated but lacking sweetness to balance the hefty bitter weight of dissolved solids; finish not quite pleasant. A very serious wine, in no conceivable way faulty, probably just caught at an awkward moment. On this showing 89P(?)

  Blowing in the Wind (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Very dark red color. PNP. Followed a glass over 45 minutes. Very ripe and modern, blackberry, blackberry liqueur, plum, a little earth, damp, alcohol, pepper. This just wasn't something that I can really appreciate that much anymore. Overwrought for me, butI'm sure there are plenty that will adore this ripe, extracted style.

  From 75cl, perfect cork. Outstanding monolithic super-ripe brooding blackberry/mulberry fruit, bright acidity and creamy but structured texture. This massive Grenache from ancient vines can be served with a good decant now, but has easily a decade in store. (If I may suggest a food match, it was fantastic with carbonara made with finest Parma ham, free-range eggs and a dribble of white truffle oil.) 94P

  Dark fruits give way to earthiness and minerality. Well made, polished. Long finish.

  Very slick and modern; in a blind tasting, I think I would have pegged this for a Californian or Australian grenache. Thankfully it wasn't too over the top for me and there's no doubt this is a well-made, polished product. Ripe plum, blueberry, espresso, and spices on the nose. Silky tannins, medium-low acidity, and sweet vanilla finish. Not something I would typically go for but enjoyable nevertheless.
