  March 13, 2008 - Light nose of fruit, vanilla, and oak. Soft and light on the palate, but a big, tart finish.

  Pepper, earthy, and oregano on the nose. BIG chocolate on first sips, medium tannins. No big fruit - more dried fruit dates/prunes/figs.
  
  Halfway through the bottle we both got stewed or sun dried tomatoes on the nose. Not a bad thing - more of a subset of "earthy."
  
  Would like to try this with marinara or pizza.

  August 15, 2006 - Indeed, odd smelly nose when 1st opened (not corked but wet dog/leathery?). While I did get some sense of grenache on the palate, it truly was disjointed. By the end of the first night, I kept getting cola notes. Will let it sit and see how it evolves in 24 hours.
  
  No funky smell the second night. I am now getting the licorice notes and the black fruit taste. And, while the tannins are winning the war, the acidity is putting up a valiant effort. I did not decant this and I must say, it's got the longest strands of sediment I've yet to see in a bottle of wine!

  March 16, 2006 - Grenache like in character, this started off disjointed but rounded out nicely over two hours. Currant, blackberry, minerals and a bit of spiciness. Medium to full bodied. It seemed to become a little fat and overly ripe towards the end.
