Drinks superb

2009 vintage

Huuuuge nose of vanilla, roasted meat, very ripe black cherries, very very modern wine… Very polished tannin, the vanilla is still very present at 16 years of age, at maturity, huge concentration, loads of ripe tannin, loads of ripe pepers, loads of black ripe cherries, length of 60 sec, a bit of competition modern wine!

Some Wine Tasted Watching the Chicago Air & Water Show; 8/16/2025-8/17/2025 (Chicago, IL) : Ultra modern style with an intense richness and concentration, yet this easily retains great balance and freshness. Seemed even better now vs when tasted at this same event 6 years ago.

Huge nose of épices de Provence, loads of sappy black cherries, iodine... Super salty ripe black cherries, very delicious, length 30 sec!!

Wow - what an excellent bottle of wine. We did not try it in its youth, but this was still vibrant and very full. Not over the hill, but finish might be slightly thinner than it would have been. Still a great blend of fruit with tertiary flavors. Great with a grilled fillet and mushrooms - really helped express the deeper flavors.

Very tasty, nothing that outrageous and the previous bottle was better. I can only recommend to drink and not hold.

2009 vintage

Not as concentrated or powerful as the last bottle, but still interesting. Dark fruits with spice and pepper medium body. On this bottle, have to disagree with RP

2009 vintage

Still a fantastic wine. Dark fruit up front and maddive sage and cedar on the back. Finishes for minutes. Went perfectly with a thick mediumrare porterhouse steak

Luis goes to Cahill Bistro : BELLISSIMO's bottle, and I agree with him that I didn't know or notice the 16% alcohol. To me a WA100 score is the kiss of death, but this bottle was pretty stellar. Maybe if'd KNOWN it was WA100 I'd feel differently? :) This was savory and earthy, with so much complexity. It had a Spanish profile, a bit big and rugged, even though the fruit was polished.

Another Great Luis Tasting! (Cahill Bistro) : Very nice wine. Opened at table, and received about 60 minutes of Slo-O. Wine showed flavors of red and dark cherries, prunes and some Kirsch, along with some earth, some leather and some tar and anise, with hints of orange peel, vanilla and baking spice. Very nice Grenache...I will need to look for some recent releases of this....seems very reasonably priced on release. Not the 100 Parker gave it, but still a very …

Brought to a dinner. Opened at table, got around to this after sitting open for 60 minutes or so. Note from memory. Nice and rich mouthfeel. Blackberry, kirsch, sage, anise, pepper--yup there is a lot going on. Good acids up front; full long concentrated (but not extracted) presence throughout; medium weight integrated tannins bring up the rear. No sense of the potent alcohol percentage. I hate points but was glad to share this fine bottle with friends and enjoyed this …

Properly cellared. Perfection,at peak. Enjoy.

I have been lucky to drink this wine since 2011. In 2015 to 2017 I rated this wine 99. It was nearly flawless. It is nearly flawless now, but older and past its prime. What's that mean when you start near perfect? It means the tahitian vanilla creme brulee stuffed with ripe fruits has evolved into a structured red with a fabulous port nose and dried fruit of prunes, black figs, amarena cherries, apricots, with hints of menthol or eucalyptus. …

Hadn’t had one of these in more than 8 years, and time was very kind to this bottle. Plenty of structure & balance for what was a burly monster in its youth. Some recent TN’s complained there were minimal tannins, but we didn’t have that problem. They’re nicely polished now, but definitely present. Really great secondary notes of old leather & charred earth are becoming primary, then on the finish there is a great pop of dark cherries. We are …

2009 vintage

See prior notes; has aged well; opened up over 2 hours; low acid and tannins; drink sooner rather than later

2009 vintage

Excellent with Indian lamb curry. Powerful and full of red fruits flavours

2009 vintage

Initially a mess - jammy/alcohol. First time trying this wine. Wasn’t sure flawed so Corvin-ed a 2010. Similar flavors in the 10but better integrated. Kind of forgot about th 09 and left open on the counter for 24 hours. Usually I’m not a fan of that much air. But turned this wine into a far more enjoyable experience.

2009 vintage

Very much in a perfect place to drink. Aromas of red pepper, sage and crushed leaves emerge from the glass. Smooth on the palate with delicate core of soft tannins. Delicious.

2009 vintage

Incredibly rich and spiced. The age on this has fully integrated the oak and ripe fruits to the point of total balance. Finish is long and lush with warm red and black berries.

2009 vintage

Chocolate, think

2009 vintage

Opened and aired for 2 hours, nice nose and deep purple color. Integrated but wine continued to develop in the glass over the two more hours we consumed. Earthy with deep fruit gave way to spice and berries that were like a Zin without the bramble. Very interesting , outstanding to drink. A wine to drink or hold

2009 vintage

I would put this right up there with SQN, Booker, Saxum and Torrin for its purity of expression of Grenache. It is aging extraordinarily well. Overwhelmingly silky on the palate. Only the slightest hint of black pepper. Tannins all integrated. Brilliant.

2009 vintage

Better on the second day. Jammy on the first.

2009 vintage

Previously Coravined long ago so that may have affected this bottle but it was a hot mess. Glad I sold my last bottle. Fig and stewed fruit. Alcoholic mess.

2009 vintage

It smells like cinnamon, tar and prune. The body is medium/full. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Are you sure?
