($15) Dark ruby. Intensely aromatic nose offers vibrant raspberry and kirsch, complemented by suave mocha, licorice and spicy minerality. Sexy cherry-cola and dark berry flavors are impressive for their purity and impact, offering far more character than one usually finds at this price. The sweet red fruit finishing flavors show impressive lift and persistence. While writing this article, I drank a bottle of the 2001 and it was holding on nicely, showing suave flavors of dried red fruits, cassis and smoked meat and no fading of color.

Reminded me a bit of the Custodian from D'arenberg. Quite good 24 hours later, though I can't really say how it matches up to the D'ary's grenache. Very good, but at $18, I'd probably get something else. Spicy and all that, but not real big on the fruit.
