Tasted blind. Interesting nose of red fruit and cedar. Still quite young on the palate with medium acidity and tannins, as well as red cherry/fruit flavors. Good finish. Quite promising!

I think this one is past its prime while still being very drinkable. I'm sure this was drinking better about 5 years ago. Still has some stuffing though. Moderate tannins with tar and pure Grenache coming through making for a moderately long finish. A good example of the vintage....although somewhat subdued from what I was expecting.

This was just excellent, punching above its weight. Classic, rich yet light, not too complex but compensates with character. Fabulous with braised short ribs.
