Screams Grenache on the nose. The VA/nail polish that I get on young LC wines has faded, and the fruit is starting to show. On the palate, all the red fruits you expect from Grenache, with some of that bacon fat from the Syrah starting to show up. This is in the beginning of its drinking window, and I would drink it sooner rather than later out of fear of smoke taint showing up.

Lots of red fruit coming through from the Grenache, with some pepper from the Syrah. Loads of fine to medium tannins coming through. Since I’m worried about the 2020s because of smoke, I’ll leave it for another year or two and drink it with some fatty steak, but not much past that.
