Just as good as I remember, packs a big fruity punch.
Had another glass the next day and wow, even better, opened way up. Next bottle would definitely recommend at least 3 hr decant.

A bit light and bright when first opened, after a couple hours it open up much more revealing bigger fuller flavor
Would recommend a 1.5-2 hr decant minimum.

Big heavy nose on it, smelled like would taste the same.
Absolutely delicious. Big and Heavy, will go well with my steak. The fruit is still prominent, but I can taste the age as it has lost a bit if it’s brightness. Probably slightly past it’s prime.
After about 2.5 hour decant wow, much more fruit and body appeared, absolutely delicious!

Brought to a restaurant for 38th bday. Waiter decanted, had a taste right away, was good, but tight. Were about 2.5 hours in by the last glass and it had totally transformed. More fruit more big body, absolutely delicious. Recommends decanting at least 2 to 3 hours.

Found this one in the cellar. Great fruit still. Wish I would have decanted it. First glass was fruity not sweet, a bit earthy but didn’t have the Napa Fruit Flavor. After an hour open bottle, it really opens up an that lingering Napa rich fruitiness came through. Wish we had more this wine still tastes great, though doubt it can get any better.

This is a great Pinot, and at $16, the QPR is incredible. Medium body. Strawberry and cherry, with a creaminess. Medium length on the finish. Would definitely buy again.

Off the first taste, was light, floral, tight, still had that elegant profile I’ve enjoyed in foxtrot before. After 2-3 hour decant bright fruits appeared, was absolutely delicious ! Definitely would give this a 3 hr decant next time.

Light and fruity on the nose, notes of dark cherry.
Light to medium body, finish doesn’t last too long.
Not bad for $20 CDN. Not overly impressive either, decent drinker, probably wouldnt buy again and would prefer to explore others

Despite some other comments, I really enjoyed this wine! Big Bright fruity cherry flavors. Though I will agree the finish is short I enjoyed the big flavor !
Received as a gift but would buy for sure.

Though I consider myself a beginner red wine lover, here is my Verdict on the 2016 Aerope Grenache :

Flavor is this explosive fruit bouquet, really fruity but not sweet. Medium body, not overly Tanic. Complex yet balanced, and I really like the tartness it has, rhe perfect amount of acidity. The finish is long lasting and enjoyable

This is a great wine….93-94 points in my book. Thoroughly enjoyed and would buy it again.

A really great Grenache blend. Beautiful delicious complex flavor profile. Acidic but balanced, great value. Would buy again.

12/19/2021 - Adam Benke Does not like this wine:

Light body, quite acidic. Maybe it was too young. Not a fan, wouldn’t buy again.

Finally giving this a try tonight.

I like it!
A tiny bit fruity But not sweet. Velvety smooth, with an earthy tone. Kinda has an old fruit flavor on the front with a soft smooth bitterness on the finish.

definitely tastes WAY BETTER than a $20 bottle would

Great wine, full body, little dry, awesome. I’d Decant for 1 hour

After about an hour of decanting this wine really opened up. This fruity/tangy taste with a punch! I really enjoyed and would 100% buy again

Quite high in alcohol (16%) and acidic when first opened. Ran through a Venturi into a decanter for 2.5 hrs. Mellowed out quite nicely and was full of fruity flavor. Tasted great!
