Big boy! 3 hour decant didn't help. Needs 4 years.

Wow has this aged nicely. The fruits is settling down and the terror is really coming thru. The depth and complexity are quite beautiful. As to the 15%+ alcohol it is not noted on the nose or palate. Surprisingly no heat at all.

As always, John Alban delivers. Purity of fruit and amazing long finish. Grenache fruit at the top of the food chain.

Wow. Had this two years ago, and it has evolved so much since then. Spectacular nose, incredible balance, and a seamless, lingering finish. I'd describe it in greater detail...but I'm too busy enjoying it. Fantastic!
