Powerful and dark as every vintage of Avenger tends to be, and with signature decently-concentrated soft and jam-dense midpalate but the finish was long, burnt and bitter. Tasted so many vintages over the years; this was Steve’s last momentous bottle of a wonderful era.

As others have noted, this is a well-made fruit bomb with plenty of Grenache character - dark berry fruit, white pepper, anise. This was an excellent value at about $35, and it's an average to good value at the $45+ I see it selling for now.

The first day I thought this was smooth and had nice finish. The 2nd day, I thought it was a bit tart and didn't enjoy the finish.

Super rich and dark fruited. Smooth tannins and long finish. Bravo!
