This has huge potential. Deep, elegant, a suave personality. Yes there's oak and yes it's young but there is enough fruit to back it. Roasted black cherry and plum, spice cake, garrigue underbrush and lavender, roasted sage. Underlining notes of meat and animal with smoke, rocks, and herbs. Tannins are a bit forward and that soaring Grenache mid-palate is a few years off.

A well-made wine in a challenging vintage. Relatively light colored. Lifted nose. Incense. Sweet cherry. Blackberry. Earth. Tobacco. Savory notes. Pretty high in acidity. Moderate tannins. Full bodied. Nice elegance. Long finish with some potential to age.
