Monthly Tasting Group: Spain (Rincon 38, Mpls, MN): Very dark red color. PNP, drank a small pour over an hour plus. Big, ripe and juicy, blackberry liqueur, seemed a bit much and the alcohol was blowsy. 87ish pts.

This wine has aged beautifully and has depth and broad character. The nose has notes of forest floor, tobacco and slight hint of leather. Dark fruit with fullness, smooth tannins and a nice finish. I was worried it might be past it’s peak but it’s not. Just lovely, glad I have a few more in my cellar!

JD Friday Wine Group - ED host (City Club, FW): Served blind - this was my second favorite of the night. The purity of fruit and lasting finish on this wine were amazing. It had a nose of bright red fruit - cherries, raspberries - nice, but integrated tannins, which helped it hold up to the steak. A beautiful red color in the glass, with nice clarity. Some cherry medicinal flavors as it opened up. This one was really tasty. I called a grenache heavy CDP, so I was in the arena, but I thought it was younger.

Very nice on day one. Even though vacuum sealed, it didn't hold up well for 24 hours.
