Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with medium+ aromas of jammy ripe fruit with sweet oaky spice. On the palate ripe blackberry and coconut flavors adding vanilla oak with yeasty bread notes. Vivid acidity, full body with slight alcohol burn, full ripe tannins on long finish ending with smoky oak and vanilla spice. Great now but some bottle age will add some benefit. Tasting Sample.

Very rich and ripe, verging on Over-Ripeness, with abundant alcohol being way too present on the finish. Sad showing.

Good stuff. Somewhat hot on the finish, and as the overall feeling is "elegance", 15% doesn't quite work out well here. Better on day 2, though.

The 2018 was far superior. Rated 2018 9.2. As all other comments needs to breathe for 1.5 hours at least.

Syrah / Grenache blend. Blackberry, chocolate with pepper finish. Bold off dry. Let this one air out for a while. 15%
