  8/1/2019 - Jean-LucP Does not like this wine: 80 Points

  Very different from the 2017. Purchased by accident. Higher alcohol (14%), 99% Grenache, 1% Syrah. Dark purple; heavier. Very tightly wound. More acidic. Lacking the floral notes of the 2017 vintage; spice dominates. Acidic and astringent notes on the palate. Will try again tomorrow. Not the worst wine ever, but would not buy again, even at $15. If you have the option, get the 2017.
  Addendum: Day 2. Lost flavor; sour. Dumping bottle.
