2007 Grenache. I’m a believer occasionally when these G blends work like this. Wish more had this pure G magic. This has it.

In our blind Chateauneuf tasting, which turned out to be all Pierre Usseglio, this was near the top of eight for me and the groups' number one. I preferred the '03.

Silky and seamless but warm. Brown sugar. Bourbon cherries. Not a ton of length on the finish. Good drink. Nothing profound...yet.
