Saxum "Rocket Block" Paso Robles 2003

Saturated purple/red.

Damp earth, oak spice, vibrant black fruit, very dense nose.

Utterly creamy/confectionary in the mouth. Absolutely packed/concentrated - great density of flavor (black raspberry). Also has a fine, strong, structural element of acid-driven, finely-grained tannin. A bit of heat here, but who cares? Length of flavor blows through it. Very finely rendered for a wine with 16.6% alcohol.

"Paso" style cubed.


50% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah

Day 3 - Now disjointed and showing its alcohol. Seems best to drink this over the next 3-4 years.
