  The first of 6 bottles, It is a powerhouse! We found it more enjoyable paired with our NY Strip steaks. It did not hold up well on day 2.

  Still drinking well. Don’t taste the alcohol. Tannins are integrated. Maybe at or past peak but pairs well with food.

  It's obvious that it was at the end of it's life, but it rose up with a nice nose and full flavor of currants and dark cherries. My only regret is not drinking it sooner.

  Very dark in the glass, defined clear meniscus, definite legs in the glass after swirling (fwiw). Interesting nose, at different times got sweet flower, nutmeg, anise, macerated black fruits, alcohol. This is a big bruiser of a wine, most noticeable when in the mouth. The wine seems very primary, plum at first then the tannins take over and dominate (the Mouvedre?) though did get some pepper as well. Tannins dominate the finish. Very good, especially for those of us who like big wines.

  Thanksgiving. Like all Grand Reve wines which I aged and opened recently, this was fruit dominated, very ripe, powerful and rich. Lacks complexity, acidity, and finesse. Medium finish.
