  Nicely balanced between earthy, mushroom notes and raspberry jam with sweet spice.

  Alban does it again. A wonderfully delicious wine that had a creamy feeling that reminded me of a Quilceda Cabernet. Paired with filets done on a Ninja Grill, first time trying this new appliance. Great raspberry nose and long satisfying finish done in the true Alban style.

  Even more disappointing than our previous bottle... tight and a bit tart, even after an hour in decanter. This is not the soft, lush fruit bomb we think of with Alban Grenache.

  Had this next to the Pandora. Both great but this is slightly less in your face. Still a big black fruited wine with long finish that I would be happy to drink any day.

  This is a very big wine, offering more black & blue than typical red grenache fruits, and it comes close to being somewhat unbalanced. Still, if you appreciate bigger wines, this is an excellent wine in its class - - lovely aromatics and a very long finish. Drinking well now, but still many years to go - - no need to rush.
