November 25, 2023 - A great Grenache, 11 yrs old, drinking beautifully now.
Not over the top, even at 15.5% abv. Delicious and all loved it. -

July 29, 2023 - Drank from magnum; PNP. Loads of ripe cherry and fresh tilled earth. Finishes with an edge of bitter dried herb and pepper underneath Morello cherries in syrup.

April 3, 2021 - Slo-oxed for 20 minutes and everything about this bottle was virtually identical to our previous bottle on 3/25, so no need to repeat that TN.

March 25, 2021 - Slo-oxed for ~10 minutes. The color was a deep purple to a faded rim. Red fruits and earth on the nose. The medium bodied palate showed the red fruits and earth, along with a good amount of spice and a touch of dark red fruits. The tannins were integrated, but the acidity outran the fruit, and the 15.6% alcohol was just peaking through. Suggest drinking up.
