Agree @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum - 22 months is better than the 16 month version - still needs time in the bottle to fully develop

A goddamned elegant pleasure bomb. So much to appreciate nose to tail and right from the pop. But who has the concentration to study when a beautiful something is tickling your senses.

Love this wine - consistently a great Grenache. Opened right up - maybe a one hour decant and it’s ready to rock.

This was fantastic. Tons of dark, juicy stone fruit that stood up well to the peppery short ribs we had. With leather, meat and graphite on the nose. We loved it.

Quite a bit more flavor than the Herman Story, IMO
But is a bit younger so the dry tannins are still present
