April 28, 2024 - very smooth - early maturing style. Pure fruit. Medium color and density in glass. Immediately approachable and enjoyable but opened and gained complexity after 30-60 minutes in decanter.
While it is a G-S-M blend it impersonates Grenache. Some spice in the nose, along with some lead/graphite.
Body is medium. Length is good
Thoroughly enjoyed with a Brazilian grilled steak. I expect this will last for at least another 5 years, likely improving some for 2-3. Who knows, maybe more, but i would not wish to lose the nose and delicacy for unknown benefit. While to try to score price-blind, i will note that i got this in the low-mid $20s so good QPR. -
