Grande deception. I was curious to try this, to see what pure Grenache from the stone would taste like. For me, it was too intense, not spoofulated, but tending towards cough syrup, dense and extracted. It could be that it just needs time, but I think it will dry out before it settles down. Others liked it more than I did. I want to give this another four or five years before trying my remaining bottle.

Much better than the last showing, much more restraint and structure, with plenty in the tank. I liked it more than Jonathan.
