Enjoyed at Roaming Goat in San Francisco. Wines like this is the reason I keep coming back (in addition to the excellent hosts there)… I love Italian wine, but never had a Grenache (Cannonau, actually) from Sardegna.
Gave this a decant and enjoyed over about half an hour, which definitely wasn't enough time, but patience is hard with wine sometimes!
Loads of dark plum, blackberry, dark cherry, slight floral notes as well. Some dried herbs as well, couldn't quite put my finger on which ones.
This needs a lot more time to let the oak integrate, but can tell this will be even more enjoyable with time.
