December 5, 2010 - Faint nose of black fruits that opened well after some time; at open, jarringly bracing acid and tannin, imbalanced discrete and harsh flavors, way too young (as expected - with lamb tonight, and CDP sitting there, well...). Not sure if it will ever come to balance, but with several for laying down, will try one a year. Interesting find, given the low price point, but may be a "get what you pay for."
Must add my trigger-happiness led me to disparage a wine that deserves time - after a mere hour, lovely, lush Grenache character comes out, balance comes together, an excellent drinker...with perhaps much more to promise, over time. Will gives this one its due.3,180 views
