I gave this 30 minutes of air, with a swirl in a decanter. Still a bit of alcohol on the nose and palate suggesting this could have used a bit more air time. On the approach, this came across a bit darker, blue fruited than expected, a bit masculine if you will, but finished more red fruited and feminine- cherries, raspberries, a hint of watermelon. Loved the complexity here, could use another 1-2 years of bottle time

Thirty minutes in the glass before tasting. Deep and slightly hazy magenta color. Underripe cherry, nutmeg, raspberry, slate, and hydrangea. Super smooth, dry palate, with superfine, dusty acidity. Firm, full, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish. 100% Grenache
This is very youthful, but elegant and already amazing. Might be the best Grenache I’ve ever had, although Gallica also has a great one.
This is drinking so well early. Intoxicating nose and the fruit is just beautiful. If your a regular buyer of this wine you're in for a treat with 2021.
Wow!
