Clearly, I’m in the minority here. Love the Garancha, Carignane, and Syrah blend. Shows some personality with meaty aromas and flavors, followed by raspberry, ripe cherry, ripe purple plum, and blackberry. Tannin and acidity prevalent in the background, but should integrate with additional cellaring. Love the style.

Still more dark ruby than brick. Nose is relatively mild with some stewed fruit, leather, and earth notes. Mouth has some nice dark fruit notes with some savoriness - almost like stewed tomatoes - with some earthy and herbaceous notes. Finish is medium and still faily tannic. Maybe past it’s prime, but still fairly nice. Extremely food friendly for a wine near 15%.

Time to drink up. On the light side some bricking but still drinkable.

I found this bottle to be tasty, but simple, and a bit disjoint.
