Decanted. This is superb now, still big and strong, but with a fine elegance, sweet cassis with a bit of bloody meat, topped of with garrigue and lilac. The palate is still nice and fruity, with good acidity and tannins, dark fruits, cassis. I think this is it, the peak, it won't get better. Excellent!

Wow, this grenache/syrah blend is packed with concentrated raspberry, plum and blackberry fruit. Powerful wine with hint of dark chocolate. Fine tannin indicates it can wait a couple of years but the fruit is enjoyably fresh now.

Popped and poured. This is a big wine, very strong fruity smells of plums and blackberries, cassis, inky black with a tiny hint of oak. The palate is also very fruity with bitter dark chocolate. A very robust wine, very well made in its own style. Delicious!

Evolved from a tough, closed wine to a generously ripe and opulent fruit-driven blend. Very hedonistic with viscous, dense texture. Ripe raspberry, plum and black cherry notes. Hints of black pepper, dark chocolate and licorice. Ready to drink.
