No contemporaneous notes. Good color, aromatic, deep nose. Full bodied, balanced, wonderful flavor on the palate and long. I believe that this cuvee is 100% grenache and it shows, in a good way. Still very young, this only started to open up after 2-3 hours in a decanter. Hold or give a long decant. Enjoyable now with significant upside. Excellent. (93+).

One hour decant. Nose shows dark fruits and kirsch with a strong black peppercorn aroma and a touch a potpourri. Thick black plum fruit hits the tongue, rolls back, and then re-asserts itself with a tang of acidity some metallic notes, smoked meat, and cinnamon stick. Finish of broad tannins, damp earth, dry chocolate, light acidity and a hint of campfire at the end.

This bottle is still quite tannic, which is not too bad

A bit bigger and more structured but nice after a 2 hour decant.
