Trying this two years after I last tried it. Taken on a pungent floral almost pot pourri type flavour. Tannins still quite firm. But plenty of raspberry fruit and freshness. After a few hours it settles down and loses some of that pungency. Still there’s a wild cherry/ Turkish delight sort of flavour. Finish is full and nutty. Fascinating, unusual wine. Won’t be for everyone but worth persisting with.

Spicy white pepper, and power and tightly wound. Needs some time.

For them this is kinda an exotic thing because they don't have much Garnacha there.
Lots of spice and meat on the nose. They are looking for more continental and more firm. More acidity. 10 months in 500 L foudre.
