  This, my final bottle, was fantastic. Silky and plush with fruit, but showing its age in a good way. No longer youthful exuberance, this was mature and integrated. Rocks notes were there, but finding them to be supportive of the maturing notes that are showing.

  Open in the bottle for about an hour or so. Nose is a bit shy, not as explosive as I expect from the rocks district, but really lush and ripe and concentrated with dusty leather and lava rocks. Palate is smooth and sexy, black cherries, plums, hint of licorice, savory herbs, all very well integrated. Really beautiful, totally in the zone right now, paired perfectly with filet mignon and roasted potatoes. A serious wine that goes down easy. Wish I had more!

  Feeling like this bottle is a little past it’s prime, but still tasty. Drink up.

  PnP. “Fine” on initial pour, this found its stride around the one hour mark. Grenache definitely running the show, with a fine supporting cast providing some structure. Fruit is still quite prominent, with tertiary notes yet to develop. Quite tasty.

  Gave a 30 minute decant but was better at an hour.
  V - Clear, mixture of ruby and garnet, certainly garnet at the edges of the significant meniscus.
  N - Raspberry, blueberry and a bit of plum. Slight smoke, rose and licorice.
  P - A bit jammy with raspberry and black currant. Tobacco, smoke and rose mid palate with a Med+ finish. Alcohol hiding the complexity a bit.
