This needs a lengthy decant. Wonderfully spicy and herbal rendition of (100%) Grenache. There is a generous dose of sweet red fruit, yet it never gets alcoholic, flabby nor tiresome. Great Grenache.

Heaven Wine! And not a day too soon. Right in the pocket. No decanting needed. Oodles of concentrated fruit and mineral. Elegance with a rustic backbone. Gorg. With JD at Antico Nouvo — 3 years ago

JD 98, RP 97. This is big and structured and beautiful. I may be low. In Florida visiting grandma and there is no way to get temperature right. People in this state have thin blood! The house is 80 degrees! — 7 years ago

Starts off a bit Bretty. But under that is not much. Palate is balanced, fresh and pure with extraordinary fruit but this is a JD at 9.0 until nose has resolved. — 7 years ago

My deep dive into northern rhone beauties continues. As with any wine, the right producer and the right vineyard and the right year makes all the difference. You know when JD does a loud sigh at first sip, we gonna party. A large rustic fruit presence with medium tannins and some VA making it a similar wild experience as some good Rinaldi. Def that grandpas attic bouquet. But then the savory inky elements kick in and a luxurious finish is the finale. — 3 years ago

Very well balanced, that’s what stands out here. Nice ripe red fruit and very good minerality, long finesse finish. It kept getting better as it opened up. This one will age wonderfully. JD rated 99. — 6 years ago

Started off incredible. Cherry and fresh cranberry jumping out of the glass. Medium weight. Perf for lamb chops. Then the Spice and green pepper hit and the wine shut down for 30 minutes. JD took it home and said it starting expressing itself better after 3 hours. — 3 years ago
