September 10, 2017 - To my surprise, this wine has improved further. It is now more full bodied, with dark fruits dominant, still fresh but more balanced. Smooth, hardly noticeable tannin and no sharp edges. Tasting more like a Grand Reserva but not as heavy. It is hard to tell which reasonably priced wines like this blossom to be so good with aging. Peaking now, so drink up if you have any in the cellar.

December 6, 2016 - Getting better with age, but probably peaking. More dense, softer, but with good balance and fruit. Suggest drinking within the next year.

December 5, 2014 - Actually pretty tasty. For the price, very very good. Has that great Grenache aroma and flavor. Good fruit, with the tannin nicely balanced out. There was a lot of sediment in the bottom of the bottle, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Felt very un-manufactured, if that is a thing. I liked it!
