This appears to be evolving. The first bottle, perhaps, highlighted the grenache a bit more whereas tone the fruit was a bit less exuberant and savory notes more pronounced.

My second time trying Saxum and I got to say these wines have such character. Luscious and ripe. Dark fruits, liqueur, peat, violets, garrigue. Ending is tannic and long. Impressive balance for a heavy weight wine like this. Please refrain from drinking this if you have a bottle, still quite youthful even for my taste. With a handful of years cellering it could become legendary.

Always a treat. Sweet black and blue fruit, earthy forest floor. Medium - full bodied.
