Wonderful aromatics, earthy, tobacco and hints of herbaciousness, first few minutes were dominated by prune then completely changed and opened up within 30 minutes with some nice acidity, some bright fruit later turning to darker fruits with tobacco, cherry, licorice and hints of smoke.

Short decant, likely not needed. Raspberry fruit with hints of caramel, baking spices and leather. Nice drink, went down real easy. Glad I have another! Drink now - 2026.

V - Clear medium ruby. Minimal Meniscus and high viscosity. N - Nice! Rap and cherry, licorice, baking spices and tobacco. P - Also Nice! More savory than expected. Fruit is primarily tart cherry. Hints of licorice, soil, tomato leaf and sweet tobacco - and finishes up with iron. Balanced and drinking well now.

Pop and pour. Nice drinking GSM. Dark fruit, spice, good balance. I bought a case from FP as a redacted/mystery wine, so will look forward to seeing it progress.

Raspberry, blackberry are primaries on the nose and body. Balanced well by medium acid and medium tannin. A touch of creaminess in the middle and a hint of warm spice, maybe a little white pepper on the medium finish. Medium body, very drinkable now.

His is not your grandmothers GSM! Rich nose with a hint of green, hocolate dark fruit and smoke. Powerfully fruit forward with candied red cherry, and subtle currant, but the wine retained a vivacious ness and crispness that paired very well with food. I’m glad i got a lotta Latta!

Strawberry liquor, raspberry, violet, garrigue, white pepper. Medium body & acidity. Light tannins. Medium finish. Went well with pork chops. Drink now or in the next couple of years.

Served with chicken fajitas. This wine has great balance and freshness. Lots of soft red fruit, floral aromas and acid to make it mouthwatering. Crisp, with a nice long finish.

Solid very drinkable GSM. Light to medium palate, lots of raspberry, hint of tar, smooth finish. In prime drinking window now, imo.

Not holding up as well with age vs. after first released.
Still a fun wine, year on year.

Consistent with prior note. No decant this time, and I think it was for the better. Nice wine paired with a beefy red sauced pasta. Drink now - 2026.

Fairly transparent in color. Nice nose of raspberry. Moderate acid, some bitterness mid palate, pretty smooth and juicy finish. Hints of overripeness

Man oh man, practically every iteration of this GSM has blown me away.
Like Led Zep: time to give this juice a whole latta latta love. (Ouch.)
