  September 18, 2014 - I have to agree with the person below. This reminded me of port as well and was just too over the top. The balance just was not there

  May 21, 2014 - -- decanted shortly before initial taste --
  -- tasted non-blind over approx. 5 hours --
  -- 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 5% Counoise --
  
  NOSE: big/ripe red & purple fruits --- moreso purple; some French oak; smells like it’s going to be big/monolithic/ripe/new world; alcoholic Tootsie Roll smell emerges after 4 hours.
  
  BODY: full bodied; some sediment present; black-violet-garnet color of medium-deep depth.
  
  TASTE: very ripe and oaky; 15.5% alc. is very noticeable on the palate and gums; big/modern; pleasant pepper note when paired with steak; no funk; no mineral; just ripe/big/lush fruit and soft oak; well-made, but boring; tiny leathery note on last sip from glass 3 hours after opening; tannins integrated; low to medium-low acidity; drink now.
  
  B: 50, 5, 11, 13, 6 = 85
