Ambition is clear, but its ripeness is bordering on too lofty. Tannins are sweet and pleasurable and the expansive mid palate very cool. I do find the alcohol too obvious on the finish, though.

Jan 27th, 2018Magnum @ 8 years
49% Grenache, 27% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre
Bottle waxed, crumbly cork, be prepared to use ah-so (?sp, double prong opener) and filter into decanter, some yeasty sediment at very end of decant.
Enjoyable on open, better with 2-3 hour decant. Baby with long life ahead.
