Sight: Purple and vivacious. Very young and lively in appearance. Nice color.
Nose: Meaty blueberry with tell-tale soft leather aroma from the Grenache. A hint of caramel signals very ripe grapes, though the wine (at 14% abv) smells quite balanced.
Taste: Fleshy fruit in the palate as well. Very fine, slightly chalky tannin. The alcohol does get a little 'heavy' in the mouth and throws the wine off balance a bit. Also a hint of bitterness.
Overall: The wine fell apart in the glass after about 10 minutes and all that was left was a vague metallic smell and a bitter flavor. Not good. The wine was a gift so I don't know the price, but I am assuming it was on the inexpensive side.
