Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; no formal notes due to the setting. It has been a few years since I last enjoyed the 2015 and I am happy to report that it is now very much open for business. The fruit is on full display and the oak is much better integrated. The structure is still quite firm but I found everything to be in better balance than it was upon release. This is squarely and its drinking window and should remain that way through the remainder of this decade and likely, well beyond. Drink now through 2030+ — 2 months ago

Chablis. Pretty good. Lime, salty, good weight. Some tannins. This will age! 13%. At Wormwood in Northpark/San Diego. The new general manager from Paris who has been there a year is good! Lucas. — 4 months ago

It’s the Crianza I was drinking. Expressive nose of red and dark (cherries, plums and blackberries), well handled oak and good acid — 3 years ago

This is the Artazu Pasos de San Martin Navarra, a varietal Garnacha. A bit sleepy before it gets air, it gradually Benjamin Buttons and develops a terrifically pure nose of kirsch and raspberry ooze, along with crushed rock dust and sandalwood. In the mouth it’s got intense fruit, but is laser-focused and has excellent acids. Zero flab.
Just enough tannin to package it all. Really nice rendition of Grenache. — 3 years ago

Neus: aroma’s van rijp rood en zwart fruit zoals kersen en pruimen, gecombineerd met kruidige tonen van tijm, rozemarijn en subtiele hints van grafiet en mineralen, dit alles naast een merkbare geur van leer en herfstbos.

Smaak: Vol en complex, met sappig rood fruit en kruiden in balans met een verfijnde zuurgraad. De mineraliteit geeft diepte en elegantie, terwijl de zachte tannines zorgen voor een fluweelzachte structuur. Aards en kruidig in de afdronk met een lange, aanhoudende licht drogende finish.

Conclusie: Een verfijnde Garnacha met een perfecte balans tussen kracht en souplesse. — 10 months ago

Muted, understated nose of nectarines and pears, with a hint of caramel (which we suspect is age related).
Palate has the signature Bacigalupi presentation. Multi-layered with bright peach and fire-roasted fruits. Medium density and moderate sweetness make this a wonderful white burg clone.
