Really liked it. — 10 months ago
Dark ruby/ purple in color with a reddish rim.
Strong fruity nose with red and black fruits, light wood, spices, light barnyard, coffee, dark chocolates and earth.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, light wood, Mediterranean spices, herbs, earth and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Grenache /Syrah blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and very approachable already.
A great vintage that will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Complex and nicely balanced. The nose gives Northern Rhone vibes. Easy drinking and an interesting wine. Still very young, but already enjoyable, even by itself.
A blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah. The Grenache comes from 100 year old vines. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of less than 3,300 bottles. Made only in special vintages.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Last bottle of this delicious and relatively inexpensive Priorat. It’s 50% Carignane and 50% Garnacha, but the Carignane really comes through on the nose, which shows deep, dark cherry and a little iodiney, stoney minerality. Big whack of flavor and body upfront. Licorice note making an entrance as the wine airs out. Tannins still and decent acids. Finish is a little short but at this value price point I’m in no position to complain. Solid wine for rustic cool weather dinners. — 3 months ago
Tried many times to upload a picture last night, without success. Feed wasn’t refreshing either.
This had begun its decline. Oxidized aroma when the cork was pulled. Cardboard and lemons on the nose. Palate was lively with exotic sweet fruits and baked apples. Remaining acidity kept this from falling off a cliff. Drink these now. — 6 months ago
