Dark cherry and spice make for a lovely inhale.

Black fruits, Pom pith, prune, black pepper, strong and strapping finish stave.
Long finish, needs a couple of years for that new oak to truly smooth out.

Sometimes you really just need to Goode into a title until it is ready to drink..

Deep,, dark fruits nose, with traces of hazelnuts

Black Forest cherry, mint, Irish breakfast tea, all wrapped up and strained through Dominican tobacco leaves.
Hefty and delicious.

Deep rich black fruit, smoke, licorice, garrigue. Fine tannins and moderate acidity, and quite open. 80% Grenache 20% Mourvèdre, aged in concrete tanks.

Juicy, lively blend. A bigish wine but with enough acidity you want to keep knocking the glasses back.

Very nice texture. Fairly rich fruit, touch of minerality keeps it true to its roots #Colombier #Vacqueyras 2013
