Dark red for a rose, guava aroma and flavor, green stem notes. Delicious! — 17 days ago

LUNCH WINE

Reddish in color with medium intensity.

Red fruits on the nose with light oak, tobacco leaf, Indian spices and herbs.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, oak, licorice, light earth, herbs, peppercorn, garrigue, dark chocolates and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very unique Rhone blend from Paso Robles. Has a Châteauneuf-du-Pape feel to it.

Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and interesting.

Very tasty and easy drinking right out of the bottle. Tannins show up after 2 hours in the decanter.

Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Has good potential to become a 93+ point wine.

I paired it with grilled Picanha.

A blend of 40% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 4% Vaccarese, 3% Counoise and 3% Cinsault.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$70. — a month ago

17+ Still plenty of fruit! A little brown at rim, but otherwise little sign that it’s 26 years old, except that tannins all gone and a lot of deposit. — 2 months ago

This can develop a while of course but nothing at all wrong with it right now with some choice southern-inspired thanksgiving leftovers. All about the garrigue and sun baked red fruit at this point, tertiary elements not really showing yet but ample structure to get there — 22 days ago
