Gave this a 6 hour decant. Tannins integrated and wine is very approachable. The fruit is probably still only in secondary phase so I think will improve further. I have previously given this wine less air (an hour), which results in fruit seeming more restrained, which is not necessarily a bad thing at this stage in its life.

5 hour decant. Served at 16c. An excellent wine - seems at its peak with everything in harmony. Wonderful mature grenache fruit with nice balance.

Very delicious forward fruit; not much complexity. Nice length and balance. Youngish but drinking very well. Although this will improve hard to tell by how much. Will revisit in a couple of years.
