This magnum was a gift from co-workers at my old job when I left to take a new one. Nice coworkers! So rich and resolved. This wine reminds me of Neil Young’s Vampire Blues. “I’m a vampire babe. Suckin’ blood from the earth.” Grenache pulled from God’s earth. Incredible intensity and length, but still entirely in balance. Length for days. Iodine, stones, blood.

Pretty much undrinkable. 100 pts? Take out the 1 and you're close...

100% Parker's jam, first time I ever tasted this bottling but I'd read about it for so many years. Interesting pine resin menthol mint character plus raisin that made it seem almost Australian. Very concentrated. Kinda not my thing?

Phenomenal wine, at a loss for words to describe. Could go another 7-10 years.

Pas le vin auquel je m'attendais et c'est positif. L'alcohol ne se fait pas sentir
