Smooth like silk. Still have red fruit up front with cocoa and tobacco notes and some minerality. Long finish. Great wine — 8 months ago
1996 vintage. Excellent aging cork with an above average fill. Not decanted. PNP and tasted immediately. Tannins fairly bowed with the passage of decades but still showing up for the weekly hang. Light-medium body. Slightly sweet intro/startup that quickly sorts into plum, coffee and chocolate notes. This was a bad, bad tannic boy back in the day but is fully reformed now. 03.19.25. — 7 months ago
@Joshua Fisher how's this look, haha. Happy Halloween. — 3 years ago
I’m between a 92-93 here. This was by no means shut down but it was surprisingly tannic and a bit clenched. Poured next to a 2016 Fisher Syrah, this was significantly less pepper driven yet substantially more nimble and vibrant. 100% Grenache and 40% whole cluster (which is definitely evident). Plenty of ripe red fruit up front on the nose with underripe and crunchy black fruits, potpourri, garrigue, and herbal stemminess. Nervy acidity on the palate and while a touch thin on the mid palate, the finish here is quite beefed up with violet, cranberry and black currant wrapped tannins. It’s almost juicy, yet an herbal flair keeps it balanced. Enjoyed at pop and pour, I’d decant at least an hour if opening now. — 4 years ago

Drinking beautifully now - the Tania are smooth and elegant with lovely ripe fruit - violet, black cherry, cassis and black plum with subtle oak flavors of cedar and clove and lovely tobacco, forest floor, and just a hint of mushroom. Very elegant with a good balance of acidity with the fruit. Very impressive wine — a month ago
