At its peak or just slightly past it. Really smooth with great character. A fine drinking experience with food or without. To beat this you need to go to Southern Rhone and spend a little more. No point in aging this longer. It’s more than ready to drink

Rich, lush, but not super complex. I get a tiny whiff of overripe/dried fruits but its not distracting or unpleasant. A pleasant enough drink that won't get better. For the price I can't complain.

Black raspberry, cedar, white pepper. Low acidity. Some chalky tannins. Not as complex as some southern Rhône Grenache offerings. Overall kind of forgettable. Better on day 2. Worth the $20 I paid.

From a magnum, opened, but not decanted for a little under an hour before pouring. This was part of a 16-person magnum night with my wine group. Enjoyed by all, but we had a lot of wine, so I have no detailed notes for this one.

Pleasant pop 'n pour. Don't know that the structure supports further development.
