Complex nose of mid red fruit mixed with spice, flowers, roasted meats. Palate took little more time to open up. Balanced and long, tannins nearly resolved and what is left is sweet and round. Good food wine.

didn't have time to decant so used an airvana (motorized dispenser), and really enjoyed it! much different experience than my first bottle, there was no hot finish at all, alcohol did not dominate like the first time around. med+ body, complex and tertiary flavors developed, nice juicy dark berry, just a touch of gingerbread oakyness.

from memory: even after a lengthy decant and trying on day 2, still a big wine, grenache dominant at 75%; dark brooding fruits, earth, powerful; full bodied; a bit hot on the finish from the 15.1% alcohol. paired well with thanksgiving dinner.

Has held up really well, taking on some nice hints of secondary flavors, rough edges gone, but no pruning effect.
