(March 29, 2020) … From the region of Montsant, Spain – this Grenache, Carignan, Syrah blend is aged for 6 months in oak (all taken from the back label of course) … So 14 years from vintage date and there is an expected forest floor note with smokey and peppery bits … as it opened earthy, cassis, dried cherry and freeze-dried raspberry also develop in the glass … as it opened further there seems to be a touch of VA that drifts in and out, then becomes more prominent … as the wine winds down (ie: begins to die in the glass) it gives off one last gasp of coffee on the finish … it did last an hour an a half or so, no real complaints here.
