  Day 1: Well not smoke tainted wine which is great. Floral, spice, earth, mushrooms, pepper and peppercorns. Medium finish and interesting Grenache wine. While not a top Kevin White wine it is solid. See how it evolves over 3 days. 91 points
  Day 2: Why you taste wines over 3 days when young. The wine shows more of its true character. For sure some smoke taint here with of course smoke, raspberries, dirt, spice and pepper. Heavy for a Grenache wine and lacks the acidity from day 1. Big decline. 83 points
  Day 3: Really grainy wine like drinking coffee with some grounds. While this is better than the more recent smoke tainted wines I can tell this would be a 94 plus in a good vintage. Smoke, spice, raspberries, dirt and charred meat. Drinkable but the price is too high for this vintage. 84 points
  Recommendation: While not crazy smoke taint if you own this drink now and on day 1.

  Traditional pale garnet in glass
  
  Sweet red spice on nose, continuing to palate. Quite complex mouthfeel, a silky texture which will develop with a couple of years
  Mefium body
  Lovely long finish
