Not sure why others haven't rated this one a little higher. My only guess is that they didn't allow for ample time for this one to open up. I enjoyed this bottle last night and noted that with each hour after the initial two hours I allowed it to breath, it only got better. At first, I found it to be quite "tight". But after a few hours, the flavor profile fully developed and it calmed down enough that it was very much delightful. Garnet in color with a medium plus viscosity, I very much enjoyed the layers this wine presented after some time in my glass.

Normally I have rated this a little higher, this be seemed tight and stubborn. Much to my dismay. Still a very deep wine.

Pleasantly surprised. Opened up nicely after 30 minutes in the decanter.

Still youthful at 15 years, this wine is really pure. The weight and depth are impressive, no loss of color at all, the dark red fruit at the core is incredible. The cellar aging is key for these wines to bring out their expressive personality. I have tasted thru the whole portfolio and the Romas Grenache is definitely my favorite. A real joy in the glass.

Wow! This is amazing! So intense. Black and blue fruit, honey on the nose and on the palate.

What a special wine. Great fruit, great structure, juicy, nice acid, long mouth feel. Special wine that has only gotten better since the first one I had 3 years ago. A true classic. Wish I had more. Last bottle.

Fantastic wine. Mild start, sweet finish. Seemingly high abv. Gallo label.

Kind of tastes like candy. But good candy. Can't decide how I feel about it
