Wow, if I had to chose between many of my CDPs and this wine, I'd definitely prefer this majority Grenache/Syrah blend. Lots of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums. Some tar and spice. Garrigue, big time. Smooth and silky. Quite savory and discernible fine tannins. Not showing its age at all. The last bottle will remain in my cellar for a while. Very delicious!

I can't put it any better than 'Eudemis', his critique is on the mark. I opened the bottle about 5 hours before sharing it at a meeting with wine friends (at a fabulous Fort Lauderdale restaurant: Maass). Yes, it was pretty dark golden yellow but the oxidative notes present at first opening it had blown off. The other bottles I still have will stay in my cellar for a while.

Still going strong. Dark fruit with coffee notes. Savory. Fine tannins. No rush to drink remaining bottles.
