Tasting, brief note. Maturing black fruit, drinking very nicely today with some baking spice and a bit of smoked meat. Moderate density, well balanced.

Opened about 3 hrs ago, didn't decant. This has really held together nicely, showing good fruit presence, a glassy texture and snappy acidity remaining. Cherry and strawberry, some lingering pepper and leather. Spicy finish, showing herb and licorice and structure. No fade on the wine here at all, going strong and lively and while this is my last bottle, for those who have the wine around it's going to be fine to keep aging.

Blackberry, licorice and leather on the nose. Soft and round palate that matches the nose but also offers a touch of strawberry and ample acidity. Finishes up with grippy tannins framing the red and black fruit. Real tasty but can still go strong for a few more years easy.

Jemrose Dinner @ Marche Moderne in the OC (Marche Moderne, Costa Mesa CA): Tasted alongside the 2008. The 2007 is blended with 10% syrah and 10% new oak. A coffee-like aroma is present in the 2007, absent in the 2008. Dark fruited palate, mainly red fruits with a hint of black. Finishes with leather, raspberry and a riper tone than the 2008.

Still going strong. A nicely structured, well extracted Grenache with a new world style that I appreciate. Nice finish with no sense of heat.
