Similar to my last tasting on 10-1-11, wherein I indicated: “Seemed to be a dark reddish-rust color, when poured into the glass. Bricking on the edge. Dark, dark red in the glass. Raspberry and rhubarb on the nose. Sweet with flavors of raspberry, plumbs and raisins in the mouth. “ This time there seemed to be more intensity and fruit concentration, as well as viscosity in the mouth. Still, a medium finish; the heat on the finish is not so noticeable this time. Paired well enough with Mexican chili!

Seemed to be a dark reddish-rust color, when poured into the glass. Bricking on the edge. Dark, dark red in the glass. Raspberry and rhubarb on the nose. Sweet with flavors of raspberry, plumbs and raisins in the mouth. Medium finish, with a touch of heat on the back palate. Has alcohol!

Very expressive fortified Grenache, gobs of sweet fruit (there, I've said it...), very un-portlike.
