This has turned into a very nice wine. Didn't like very much a few years ago. Decanted over an hour. Deep purple. Bold and fresh blue and purple fruit. Full bodied. Good finish. A bit of mid tongue green acidity. Much better than before.

Delicious red berry, lavender, and black pepper spice on the nose and palate with soft tannins on the long finish. Delicious whole cluster GSM. Drinking beautifully!

Ann pulled this from the cellar and poured it for me blind. Popped and poured and the rest went into a decanter. Tight at first, showing red fruits and black pepper. Medium bodied with good acidity. I initially thought this was a chateauneuf du pape. As it opened the fruit became more intense, almost sweet. Cherries, red raspberries. Lots of spice and black pepper I'm guessing from the stem inclusion. Some beef/meaty notes. Juicy. As Pax points out, it's not big and lush, which is one of the things I like about it. In the end I guessed a Cali GSM blend, and Wind Gap Orra. Close but no cigar.

Drank in Telluride. A bit of a disappointment. Initially smooth but morphs into a granny apple mid tongue evaporating acid taste that lingers.
