My 2 favorite parts of the G.S.M blend. The S and the M. Well, the Spanish version. Listen, some of you do not see the beauty in this, bc you do NOT appreciate harsh earthiness and pencil shavings mixed with stale coffee and plum.... But this handsome bastard sure as hell does. Pour this on my chest and turn off the lights. Great wine.

Initial whiff burned my nostrils. Dry fruit notes. Slightly sweet. Hard to categorize.

Yikes. This badboy is rough. Robert Parker needs to rethink this 92 rating. It is awful but it has a very distinct, unflattering taste. Reminds me of cigar ashes the next day. We ended up cooking with it.

Fruity, bold, and earthy. Bitter aftertaste with smoke.
Good value.

Floral nose. Delightful out of the gates but faded a bit with time. Grapefruit, slate, dandelions, fruit forward and not overwhelming in terroir. Jammyl. A slight dry finish.

Medium body. Anise, tart cherry on the nose. Not overly impressed.

Nov 5th, 2015A bit robust. Just enough spice and proper tannins. I'm digging the fruitiness and the smoothness. Let it breathe for a while and she'll really please you.
