  Definitely feeling it’s age. Leather and dried fruit on the nose. Palate is concentrated but lost any freshness. Drinkable but glad I’ve got 6 of us to “enjoy”

  This has developed quite nicely. Mostly Grenache, the wine still has some lively red fruit and a hefty kick of spice and menthol on the nose. Tannins have largely resolved but still linger a bit on the finish. Ready to go now but seems like it may hold a bit more as well.

  Light in color, bricking noticeable, barnyard/cigar box on the nose. Smooth on the palate, very drinkable but nothing earth shattering. I have more Southern Rhones at lower price points which have been more rewarding.
