Opens with an impenetrable wall of animal aromas. Once it dissipates, Kirsch and incense appear. In a tough place but should emerge in a few years at a better place. Not for everyone. 100% Grenache.

Melted red licorice, Provençal herb, big boozy juice. Wish I had another sip right now

I'm dissapointed in the way this turned out. It has a long life ahead of it but not my favorite.

I wish I loved this wine but after 4 tries I just don't see it.

Enjoyed with main course of dinner. Cigar box and ash with aged black cherry profile. Enters with a slight mint character. Ample weight as well. Complex as can be. Middle shows plum, figs, dates. Finished more round and supple. Tannins are rather soft at this point but I think this could go another 7 to 10 years or so.
