Thursday, April 7, 2011 - I concur that this is a ho-hum wine on its own. Decent fruit, but flat on the acidity, no real backbone. I opened it after opening a 2001 "Casa Bassa" by the same producer, which was very acidic. Then I mixed them and wow! the balance of this acid-less grenache and the tart syrah-based Casa Bassa was synergistic. Together they were a good 5 points better.
