This was much improved from my last check in. Big fruit, nicely integrated tannins, long balanced finish. Benefited from a 2 hour decant. Still has a little left but drinking now would not be a mistake.

Solid CdP, probably getting close to game time for the other two bottles in my cellar. Definitely benefited from getting out of the cellar temp and close to room temperature and about 30 minutes of air in the glass. Upon opening, syrah was dominant despite its relative size in the blend. After 30 minutes, the juiciness of the Grenache stands out.

We opened two bottles of this in the past week. First experience was quite good, with fruit showing well and good depth of flavor. Second experience was not as fulsome, and fruit was hard to find. The 89 score is the median. I will say, the first bottle we drank right from room temperature, while the second bottle had been at cellar temp and we popped and poured.

Candied red berries, medium bodied and forward, this lighter styled wine should be best young.
