Upfront and undecanted, can easily disguise as Sangiovese Italian with assaulting nose and tart cherry astringency. Perfect thanksgiving food marriage. Swirl or better yet decant for softer earthy purple florals and baking spices.

Very closed on initial taste in restaurant. Following a “vigorous decant” as stated by the Sommelier it opened up a little but still needed more air. Notes of raspberry plus earth and mineral but largely still closed. Simply put drunk too young. Grainy tannins with M+ Acid. 80% Grenache 20% Mourvèdre. Raspberry from the Grenache with the tarry tannins from the Mourvèdre coming through. Cellaring future up to 10 years.

Very nice. Dark cherry / dark fruit. Hint if leather. Needs slight decanting. Opens up nicely.

Nose of raisins, mint chocolate and a little cookie dough. Burnt orange skin, plums with good spice. High acid and good grip; enough to stabilise / cellar for 5+ years.
