  My one and only bottle, popped and poured tonight. Really looks the part: plump purple, with rich, leggy texture. This is very pretty, and that is saying something from me, who soured on Grenache ten years ago. Ripe purple fruit nose, but amazingly restrained, not overdone. I'm sure this is high-octane stuff, but it is hidden very well by the copious fruit; somebody exercised a very deft hand. Not subtle or complex,. this wine wins on its overt plump fruitiness which pushes but does not go over the boundaries: it is rich and full, but not overripe. 5-12-17-8: 92/100.

  Pretty solid for what it is: party/BBQ wine. Decanted off the sediment and let it breathe for 30min. Aromas of oak, vanilla, cooked red fruits/jam/compote, some dank aromas, alcohol. Appearance is dark garnet, clear. In the mouth, I get full body, med/+ tannin, med/- acid, loads of glycol in the body, heat all over, tis' a spicy boy. Flavors of raspberry compote, oaky vanilla, and cherry cordial, there's a fun texture to the wine, almost jammy in a way- boozy finish. Went well with some Texas styled ribs off the smoker.
  
  Overall: drink now through the next 2-3 years.

  Delicious! Stewed strawberries, sweet tobacco leaf on the palate . Loved this on its own. Food enhanced the flavor we were at a restaurant so if you opened 2 hours before it would be fabulous!

  A nice wine. Not overly complex or a long finish. Still enjoyed it a lot.
