In a really good spot. Big nose of violets and red and blue fruits. Palate is fully integrated coating fruit, tobacco, cocoa, and spice. Nice dusty tannins on finish. Has lost some of its power, but made up for it in smoothness.

Nose is gorgeous, lush red/black fruit, roasted meats, wiht floral highlights. Palate is meidum to full with mineral, fruit, cocoa. Finish is nicely tannic, begging for big dead cow.

Pop n pour. Tons of sweet, floral, raspberry Grenache fruit on the nose, with an intriguing melted butter note. The palate was what pushed this into the 90s for me ... Rich and creamy and deliciousness. A long finish that with time brought out some darker Mourvedre flavors. Didn't get much tempranillo out of this. Very pretty. So far, Chrisinsunnyside is battin' 1,000 with our WA for Rhone trade!
