March 24, 2022 - PnP - didn’t think a 2006 needed a decant. My mistake. It started out all tannin, but opened up over the the next couple of hours. The tannins softened and an interesting and pleasant palate of flavors followed. Fruits, oak, licorice and earth with a dusty finish.

April 1, 2018 - My only bottle, but this was drinking great tonight with leg and chops of lamb. Dense coloring with garnet edges. Aromas of dusty cherry, black tea, dry leaves, and lemon and orange peel. A little lavender and herb is showing as well. Medium body, good presence with a burst of acidity on the back end, long finish, and flavors of cherry, black tea, orange peel, lemon, and spice. Really solid showing.

December 30, 2017 - Tasted with coworkers and friends. Soft and subtle, dried cherry, black tea leaves, extremely well integrated tannin and alcohol, seasoned salt and rubbed sage. Looks to be unfiltered, garnet red with an orange rim and dusty opacity. Drinking elegantly right now, but probably just starting to fade. Would consume any remaining bottles next few years.

March 20, 2017 - Love this stuff! The earthy, dark and funky mourvedre fruit is up front, with the cool, silky grenache in the background. This is a rich, deep, expressive wine, which should come together and get more balanced in a few years. First time trying the 2006. I didn't sense any heat from alcohol in this bottle. Will have to look for more.
