March 5, 2022 - Decanted for 2 hours. On the initial taste pre-decant, it was only a little hot, so I knew a 2-3 hour decant would take some of that alcohol out. Sure enough, it became a smooth fruit bomb. Wonderful bottle - consumed with friends in an evening after dinner.

August 30, 2020 - Medium purple
Nose: Macerated blackberry, boysenberry, sweet creme, sandalwood.
Mouth: A velvet pool of creamed boysenberry, blackberry and black cherry gently glides through, as toffee, powdered cinnamon, and nutmeg notes filter out into rooibos tea flavors and threads of garrigue. A light tannic tinge and a dim powdered chalk show together at the very end.
Overall: This gushes a little bit, showing lightly sweet fruit up front, it follows up with a shimmering, delicate midpalate and finish that are seamlessly integrated together. Polished and svelte, with beautifully integrated acid, this is gorgeous and even delicate, (if a little hot from the elevated alcohols). Not hugely structured, but will hold its own in the cellar. 66% Grenache, 33% Syrah. Drink now - 2033.
