  2/12/2015 - Beerzebub Likes this wine:

  P&p. Pronounced raspberry on the nose, accented by pine/cedar/spice. Same on the palate, juicy, tart, a bit savory, delicious. Earthy, stony minerality develops toward the finish, dry and slightly bitter, an excellent foil to the exuberant fruit. Quite youthful, totally open and drinking very well. With a little air the fruit darkens, and the wine gains richness and depth. Nice fresh acidity and well integrated tannins hold everything together. Highly enjoyable, good stuff. Drink or hold, I suppose.
  
  Day 2 (stored in a half bottle) - drinking very well. Cool fresh cohesive raspberry/blackcurrant/Kalamata olive, ripe but not at all heavy, with fresh acidity, savoriness, spice, salinity, earth, ferrous minerality; quite nice.

  Ruby color. High acidity and did not show much on the first day. Much better on day 3 with lots of soil and mineral notes on a medium length finish.

  Smelled GREAT. Lot of dark fruit, but also surprising exotic fruit notes. Lychee on the nose. A friend mentioned Grenadine (and it's called Grenadiere). Mouth is big and thick but very subtle. Plays a lot with that mediterranean spice. Still getting a lot of lychee and lychee peel on the mouth. Crazy. I bet it will get better with time. I want to taste earlier vintages now.
