  Wonderfully delicious aromas with great fruitiness. The palette showed a nicely smoothed out feel with no aspect of the wine overriding the other. Well balanced tannins, a nice dry finish, the deep fruity flavors of this style of wine, which is one of my favorites. For me I was getting some strawberry and a subtle hint of pepper. I am sorry this was my last bottle of this wine.

  Deep rich fruity, typical Grenache notes. The wine has a big bold structure with deep fruit flavors. Took about 30 minutes to open up. Must decant.

  Needed decanting for two hours, then had great flavor, tannins and finish.

  In hindsight, probably needed to open this a year or two prior. Nonetheless, still has that CDP quality of red cherry, strawberry, tobacco, earth, and tar notes to it, albeit the fruit it muted at best right now. Decent finish...don't wait if you still have some.

  OK. Was a little brown in color. Muted fruit. May have waited too long to drink this
