Rich with sweet strawberry extraction on leather and farm side undergrowth. Mushrooms. Deeply fragrant, great value. The 15 a notch better.

Not as amazing as I remember it to be. A little subtle on the nose and please at but lite fruit wine. But must try again with a clean palate.

Very fruit forward. Not spicy at all. Probably due to the 80:20 Grenache:Syrah ratio.
