As BY wrote in 2014, dry yet quite fruity. Now (in 2022), very soft tanins, very juicy, and dry. Although it’s 100% garnaca, it tastes to me like there is some Mourvèdre in it. I note that because it’s not, to my palate, a typical garnacha flavor profile.

this is still surprisingly fresh with grenache typicity-- chewy red fruit with hints of pepper. Drink up but don't despair if you haven't yet

Poped and Poured this wine. Was having Beef Cheeks along as a pairing. Nice acidity to the wine at first with a delicate fruit. Over the course of the meal, the wine became flat and uneventful. Lost most of it's nose, and balance. Became a fruit bomb with nothing else coming through. This leads me to think this wine has passed it's drinking window. Did not enjoy. Once the wine fell flat, opened up another bottle that night and did …

big red fruit in this expressive granacha. Medium body and real easy to drink crowd pleaser. Price point fair

Disjointed taste and a really sharp, biting finish. Red fruit and not much else

Good not great. Some tannins, big alcohol, not too much fruit, short on the palate.

Intense on the nose, reminiscent of a port or sherry. Deep ruby in the glass. Needs a bit of time to open up - drinkable but tight initially. Rich fruit on the palate in nice balance with appropriate oak. Great value - would buy again.

PnP Ready to go from the start. Drank more like a 10yr old Garnacha in the best ways possible. Mellow, easy drinker with enough fruit to keep it interesting. I will be buying more.

Très bon vin. Avec des tannins fermes, le chêne prédomine les saveurs. Colle admirablement bien aux papilles. Sa longueur se fait sentir de la première a la dernière gorgée.

After popping two bottles that were bad this evening (a '91 Bordeaux and an '06 Benziger), this one was a sweet relief. Smooth, drinkable. Nothing complex, but exactly what we wanted. Paired nicely with spicy chicken curry.

Yes this is young but for 100% Grenache it packed a bit of a punch. There must be some tannin contribution from the barrel as on Day 1 this was a stiff drink. Day 2 found floral notes and strawberries on the nose. Still a very decent structure in the mouth. A certain softness for sure but a dichotomous firm finish added interest. Quite a lot of sediment. Good juice, would repeat but I'm not hopping in the car to …
