I think this wine is better a bit younger, in the 3-4ish year old range. Had several bottles in late 2022/early 2023 which were fine, but more recently has not been so enjoyable. Needing more air to open up, and just no longer as impressive as it was when younger. Probably not a wine for long aging.
Now, where can I find some 2020?

Hard to beat for $13. Old world, old vine Grenache. After a night of popping corks and pouring out bad wines, this one does not disappoint. Comes across as a good Gigondas though it’s Spanish in origin.

for the nodest priv=ce, this wine hits it out of the park. Rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced, full of complexities. Great bouquet.

Less exuberantly juicy and floral than the 2015 was in 2018
