If it weren’t for the added complexity and the purity of the fruit it would have seemed too sweet and fruit bomb to me. But somehow they got the balance just right. I’m hoping this Grenache will be the same!!

I don't at all mind a lot of fruit, or necessarily fruit bombs, but if I only have a few bottles and waiting would take something from tasty but pretty boring/simple to something more interesting and special I'm tempted to wait. I guess I have 3 of each though, so might at well taste at least one very young and see what I think.
