  Interesting stuff. Grenache fruit shines, drinking very well now. Balanced, layered, evolves as it opens.

  Open soft focused nose of blue berry compote, ripe red plum, strawberries. Took about 30 minutes to blow off VA. Palate is smooth, slightly tart, no noticeable heat. Very clean / clear palate, refreshing.

  Port-like. Too sweet for my tastes. Prunes and berry on the nose. Perhaps this has past it's prime?
