August 19, 2016 - This is a pretty robust Grenache, with big alcohol and a fair lick of strong oak, but with some pretty serious forest fruit, coffe beans, and black and red currant to flatten it out.
The palette is starting to show some older characteristics and I think this wine is transitioning to something quite interesting, but it's a little disjointed right now. Hold for another 5 years.
