Austin Sung's Review:

Yellow and brown tone of color is very thin around rim. Overall water color tone looks thick & strong. But thickness flowing down the glass is medium. Butter, oak, very light pleasing smoke, pear and vanilla smells are based overall. Berry kinds smells are also pleasing. Chocolate and cheddar cheese added with leather, dried grapes, dark cherry... fruitful complexed aroma is mild. 80% Grenache is very much matched with 10% syrah and others. Acidity is dominant, but not tough on drinking. The taste of 10% Syrah is really master piece. The trailing note in pepper taste of syrah is well balanced with Grenache. Empowered, but not exceeding, mouthful scents are really pleasing with molecule of fruit acidity. Very minimal scent of butter and toast with dried grape is good on base. Overall tanin is relatively weak, but this mild tanin is even better taste and well balanced with acidity. Mixture of syrah 10% and others really hit the taste. Overall texture is good and well balanced.

Austin Sung's Review:

matured but I suggest to wait for 1 more year. After fermentation, maturing in chene barral creates very silky tannin. Vanilla, a bit of caramel. Tannin is weak, but very silky. Overall acidity is very good & well balanced. 30% of merlot overwhelms malbec. Good to taste French malbec (not dominant and it goes well with merlot).

Austin Sung's Review:

Golden straw color. Color itself looks vividly strong. Yellow apple smell is very good overall and mixture of pineapple, vanilla, milky smell. Silky tasty. In comparison to its smell, taste is weaker. However good in general.

Austin Sung's Review:

Very clean & claar color with tinged green & goldish. Pineapple, tropical fruits aroma, mushroom, persimmon, dried flower smells are good. However it is not reaching noble & elegance level. Medium, finish 7 sec.
