This wine has gotten even better: outstanding! Flavors of dark plum, black pepper, cinnamon and dark cherry. Paired well with fusilli with arrabiata w bison meat sauce.

Spectacular wine that paired well with lamb shank prepared with North African spices on Roemertopf. Wine has flavors of blackberries, chocolate and black pepper.

Deep dark center, red/purple rim with very modest signs of age. Sweet pipe tobacco, creamy black cherries, the Grenache is more forward - slightly jammy fruit, brambles, followed by the Syrah - not peppery, more rubber and sleek fruit. Smooth, more Syrah driven up front, rubber and black cherries, good acidity and tannin, a little spice, raspberry fruit later, very good long finish. Excellent SG blend, drinking very well at 10 years, good for another 3 years.

Drinking very well now. Great combination of Syrah rubber and meat and Grenache cherries and polish. Good balance of fruit and acidity at this point. This wine was made in the early 2000s up to 2013, which seems to be the last vintage, unfortunately. Drink now and over the next 2-3 years.

I recommend drinking now. I don't see it improving. It was an enjoyable bottle. I popped and poured without issue.
