Wow. What great wine. Beautiful big nose of plums and pears and dark berries. Deep purple and dark red color. Semi-sweet cherries are the immediate tongue burst, and it slides into a full fruit berries, plums and a earthy tone in the back. After 30 minutes or so, the tang of cherries calms to more fruit and a softer, rounder flavor with soft spicy feel on the end. Very nice. Will definitely get again.

Massive and punctuated Grenache - elaborate and endowed - tasting now is irresponsible - fruit wood and spice need time to integrate but well proportioned and balanced - Will try again in 2019

Super-charged, ripe and forward with loads of charred oak adding vanilla and cola notes. Tannins are wonderful accessible but serious enough to warrant mid term cellaring.

Cooked black cherry, vanilla, mocha, hint of brett. Smooth tannins, balanced alcohol although 16%, medium bodied, hint of RS on the finish.

2012. Big oak vanilla and fruit. Great with grilled sausages and steak.
