  One hour decant. Very very deep magenta color. Black cherry, slate, peppercorn, plum skin, sea salt laden chocolate, nutmeg, rose petals, and subtle roast beef. Smooth, dry palate, with sizzling acidity. Firm tannins on the medium long finish. 47% Mourvèdre, 35% Syrah, and 18% Grenache
  
  Although Rhône blends are not my thing these days, this was quite good. It’s rich and clearly well made. Big thanks to Decanting Queen for the fun bottle. Melissa also thoroughly enjoyed it.

  Absolutely stunning wine with a one hour decant. 47% Mourvèdre, 35% Syrah, and 18% Grenache, all putting forth their best characteristics. Seductive entry, velvety tannins, great plush mouthfeel. Dense muddled Marionberry, smokey blueberry, faint sweetened strawberry, anise and slight charcoal. Building depth with time in the glass, this is a polished, classy and hedonistic offering by Scott Hawley. Bravo.

  Just like we tested at the winery. Need to give it 2 hours of decant at this stage of its life. Will wait for at least 1 year before having the next bottle.

  Stunning wine. Incredibly elegant, showing blueberry, strawberry, licorice, anise. With depth and some blue fruit and bold structure.
