Delicious, dark fruit in a powerful Mourvèdre blend. Earthy, meaty and still with many good years ahead. Browning at the edges, but not on the palate for me. Nice!

Lovely and full of flavor - this one has years left on it. More fruit than I remember the last bottle I opened.

Purest expression of mourvèdre fruit I've ever had! Lovely deep, dark, rich fruit on the nose and palate. Weighty, voluptuous mouthfeel. Easy bottle to finish! Has solid structure for aging, but why wait with such a gorgeous profile now!

Gorgeous, bold but silky garnacha. Well integrated tannins, big, but doesn't bite back. Going to have to get a few more bottles to enjoy through the years.

Unremarkable. Has not aged with grace, just seemed flat. Others who reviewed it earlier had it right.

Loved the spicy grenache from Denis! Hints of Cardamom on the nose and palate. Drinking well...not sure how long my other bottle will last!

Beautiful dark cherry fruit in a nicely balanced wine that has the structure to last considerably longer.

Lovely older vintage, still nicely balanced with just enough fruit on the palate for me.
