  Pronounced nose of violet, cherry liqueur, licorice, garrigue, vanilla, toast, and black tea. Medium acidity, medium silky tannins, and medium+ finish redolent of ripe fruits with apparent heat from the 16.0% ABV. The sweet new oak is yet to be integrated, so stash your bottles away for at least 5 more years, but I suspect it will always be a bit too rich for my palate.

  Decanted for three hours. Unbelievably revealing, yet over many a minute there’s this extra layer of nuance that presents itself. Such an unctuous Grenache with elegance and body. Raspberry liquor, sassafras, candied ginger, stone, blackberries and almond cookies. Excellent body with so much fullness and this sticky, yet strangely elegant finish that sails on. Gorgeous today with enough coaxing and better tomorrow. Sexy. Drink 2027 -.

  Drank with grilled burgers at the beach. Needed time, really fragrant nose, marvelous fruit and a long finish. Due to the family dinner no formal note

  Seabrook Beach Trip 2023; 7/8/2023-7/15/2023 (Seabrook Island, SC): Ripe but not over the top or cloying sweet. Blackberries, ripe fleshy strawberry. Delicious. Really comes alive with some air

  This wine has been so good at a young age that I couldn’t help myself from drinking my 3rd and last bottle. Not much to add from my previous notes.
