  July 6, 2021 - Dark ruby in color with a wide ruby rim.
  
  Strong nose of black currants, cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco, peppercorn, chocolates, graphite, dark coffee, vinaigrette, vanilla, oak, light mold, black tea, bitter herbs and spices.
  
  Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.
  
  Dry on the palate with black currants, bell pepper, cherries, oak, vanilla, cloves, spices, smoke, graphite, tobacco leaf, bitter herbs, black tea, coffee, river rocks and black pepper.
  
  Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries..
  
  This is a great GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Showing great complexity and mouthfeel.
  
  This 9 year old needs 2 hours to open up properly, and wasn't good right out of the bottle. I had this vintage six years ago, and boy did it change. Drinking very nicely now. Delicious actually.
  
  Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats, cheeses, pickled vegetables and fresh grapes.
  
  A blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 30% Mourvedre.
  
  14.5% alcohol by volume.
  
  93 points.
  
  $50 (current vintage).

  March 16, 2016 - Nice Cherry, cassis, and licorice nose. The nose carries to the pallate with the addition of boysenberry. Over time some spice box and tobbaco aromas develop. A little soft and it needs a little more lift on the mid pallate and a little stronger longer finish but overall very good.
