  Bought Recently via a 3rd party and my first of two bottles was just ok to me. Hits with big fruit and a wave of tannin at first pop n pour. Fruit and tannins mellow with some air but nothing else showed. Hours later the wine was pretty flat. Maybe the next bottle will be better.

  Really great concentration and body. Nice mouthfeel. Plush. Elegant. Very rich. White pepper, and lush, dark berries. One of the better pure Grenache wines I have tasted. Not a faint-hearted wine!

  Great Grenache aromas of strawberry. Good evolution. Touch of Australian fruit sweetness. Lovely wine.

  First bottle was corked. But second one was delicious. Medium garnet, raspberry and flowers on the nose. Cranberry and red fruit on the palate, medium body, tart finish with umami notes. Good acidity.

  Ruddy red, just a touch cloudy. Strawberry and spice nose. Medium bodied, raspberries, white pepper, bing cherries, sweet grainy tannins, smoke, good acid, a bit of heat, and a medium length finish. An excellent wine with a lot of time left.
