Always great. Opened this and was big out of the gate still. Not too much. Put it in the fridge overnight. The next day it drank beautifully. Smooth and balanced with ripe fruit. Great wine!

All the typical Grenache notes and this one I think is peaking. Nice.

Lush dark fruit. Polished. A bit over the top for me personally, but well made for the style.

Beautiful fruit on this luxury wine. It's is a bit high in alcohol but the overall balance of acidity and a mind make this a serious wine.

A wonderful Grenache. Delicious with chocolate bread pudding. Big perfume. Smoke and leather.

Another winner from Russell From at Herman Story. Great notes of dark chocolate, blackberry, and kirsch on the nose. Beautifully integrated palate with sweet, evolved tannins enveloped in fruit and glycerine, followed by a nice (albeit slightly hot) finish. Terrific.
