Vinturied into decant, This has evolved nicely, takes a bit of time to open, Fresh berries on the nose, no sign of age, I’d say it was aged in concrete due to the way it evolves. Very approachable and a even finish. Drink now thru 2023-25

Dark red with a garnet rim, the nose is full of spice and exotic fruit (passion fruit?). Full body, fresh acidity and very round tannins, very well balanced.

We should have let this open up some. While there was nothing the matter with the wine the fruit was rather muted.

Impressive wine for the price. Great QPR. Big red and dark fruit overwhelm with a little spice and cedar and leather underneath. Just a hint of earth.

This is great stuff. You'd swear it was a $50 bottle.

tremendous dark fruit with a nice balance and mouthfeel. nice dry tannic finish. will probably be just right with two more years in the bottle.

Jamming juice,
Really a good example from that region,
And a great value to boot!
Buy and drink.

Loved. Darker than Grenache I've had. Great Grenache nose. Drank with tomato soup and grilled Gruyere sandwich.
