PnP, followed for 2 hours. The note giving this 100 points is clearly an error. 50% grenache, 35% syrah, 15% mourvedre.
Nose of dark fruit brambling over leather and graphite. Subtle bacon fat but the richness of the nose is telltale. Palate is medium-full bodied, gentle acid, subtle and elegant glycerin, and tannins that are well hidden but actually rather robust. There is purple fruit and menthol that shows in a supple fashion. Finish shows black olives, blue fruit, tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and rocky chalky tannic structure.
Drinking well now. Fleshy and chewy so it has the bones to last another 5-7 years in the cellar. Great value at $30ish.

Succulent. Nose is soft n subtle as the wine opened. Intially had notes of fruit and strong notes of earth. As hours past the nose became more earthy. There are tannins but they are fairly soft it definitely there. Finish is long but not as put together as I would like but then again I tend to like earthy wines. It’s very dry but still somewhat moist which doesn’t make much sense. Would love to age this a few years an see what it becomes. Would buy again for the price. Paid about 35 dollars usd.

A fleshy wine with wonderful balance between dark fruits and some hints of pepper.
