| Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by VinCapitan on 7/8/2017 & rated 87 points: w8 - 2006 colonial estate grenache - similar to the previous. coffee, raisins, amaronesque got a bit of pong, just a bit, falling over (557 views) | | | Tasted by C'est la Vin on 11/8/2012 & rated 88 points: Holding up okay. Alcohol and acid sticking out a bit, freshly opened however so may settle down with a bit of air. Not as vibrant as other bottles I have had. (1567 views) | | | Tasted by Jubby on 7/15/2012 & rated 88 points: A lovely brick-red colour, aged black fruit and an almost port-like aroma, the flavours are relaxed with very soft tannins. It's clearly reaching the end, drink now and enjoy. (1596 views) | | | Tasted by jeremy_ross on 6/29/2012: I suggest drinking this now if you still have bottles. It's begun to fade, and the alcohol is starting to dominate. (1738 views) | | | Tasted by C'est la Vin on 11/17/2011 & rated 88 points: Oak still present...still a way to go on its journey. Brilliant color and rich fruit (1658 views) | | | Tasted by TheBosWineGuy on 11/17/2011 & rated 85 points: I noticed the oak much more this time around. The best sip was the last sip. Like 'Kenachers' says, still a way to go on this...I reckon the wine is in a down phase. (1924 views) | | | Tasted by TheBosWineGuy on 6/10/2011 & rated 86 points: Nice. Good balance. This is a bargain at $15 and much better than many of the Granaches I've had from this area. (946 views) |
