One of my favorite wines outside CS. Great bouquet. Rose petal and elegance. Seductive mouth feel ripe red fruit and silk. Superb. Drink now, drink tomorrow, drink next week, month year or decade. Just drink it.

A wine that disappears in minutes. There’s Grenache and then there’s this family. We also had the 2003 later which I found to be a bit saline and tight in comparison
