Extremely compact and primary at this stage, with massive tannins, oak, and some reduction. Needs a couple of years to become approachable. Will likely be great in the long run.

Massive bottle. Intensity of color and flavor. Super tannic, it tastes like a barrel sample. This beast needs another ten years.

Opened up after a 2 hour decant. Still young but rich with dark fruit at its core

Nice Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre blend. Wine 14/15 at Renegade wine dinner. Lots of pacing required!

Rich nose of plums and dark fruit. Still very tannic on the back end. Very enjoyable if its given some air.

This is a very interesting wine. Needs time to age. Look forward to trying again in 10-15 years.
