Decanted for an hour and rebottled. Reticent nose with dark fruit and spice. Medium plus body with a dark fruit profile featuring blackberry and blueberry. Not too much complexity here with little in the way of secondary characteristics. Smooth mouthfeel with nice balance. 20 second finish with some grippy but manageable tannins in evidence. Very nice but somewhat undistinguished for me.

Definitely going strong; could've lasted a few more years, I think. Dark and firm, little nose. Hadn't opened up after nearly two hours. More savory than sweet -- I tasted very little fruit, a bit challenging. Interesting, but not wonderful.

Drinking beautifully right now.
Weighty and velvety with a lush creamy strawberry that sings Grenache.
Very enjoyable.

Excellent. Wine was restrained with underlying dark fruits and spice that were cobined nicely leaving the wine well balanced.
