Im figuring on a major wine purchase in a week or two so Im saving up and not going out. Basically just comming home from work and doing some reading/sleeping/net. It will be so worth it if I can aquire this rare purchase though. QOTD: Not much, methinks. Im figuring on a major wine purchase in a week or two so Im saving up and not going out.

It was fruity when i tasted it, but a little confused and all over the place is how it felt. not very settled and the tannins and took over and consumed my pallete quickly from mid to the finish. Decent drinker for 7 bones. Enjoyable with my meat-loaf, and the sweetness of the meat calmed the tannic finish. wouldnt say i'd get another bottle, but it was not the worst wine ive every had. thanks gary for the experience!

I think this would be a great wine to revisit during your next "decant vs. straight from the bottle" episodes. I would (just as Gary does) certainly recommend that this wine be decanted or left in the glass for several hours and that you revisit it several times throughout an evening. I certainly can see some musty, even burnt plastic aromas initially, however, 2 hrs in the glass and it is a totally different wine. I have enjoyed the past several vintages of this GSM with any meat, especially beef right off the grill. I always get a strong note of chocolate and leather from this wine and was surprised not to see that on the show or in the comments. 88 points from GV is great but I think you would have been overwhelmed with a slightly cooler, decanted Panarroz.

I was driving along PCH on my way to San Diego and a big Diesel-Electric freight train was stopped with some sort of engine fire and the smoke was blowing across the Freeway. As I drive through it I caught a big wiff of burned-out electric motor -- and it reminded me immediately of the nose on the Panarroz. Burning freight train engine doesn't exactly sound appealing, but that's one of the great things about wine -- it connects to the rest of life, sometimes in the most unexpected ways!

I give it a sniffy-sniff and got this very distinct smell that I couldn't describe. It's so strong and unique; a little nutty maybe, but not really. Then I play the vid and you say it smells like burnt electricity and I say "Yes! Yes it does, that's EXACTLY what it smells like... wild!" It really turned me off at first, until I realized that smell and then I was able to appreciate it for what it was. Interesting. Totally worth the 6 bucks just for that experience. Thanks.

I've had this bottle open for a day to see if it would open up. So far, no show. It reminds me of an empty bookcase -- lots of structure but not enough content. Just not much fruit. Some dark berry notes and a cranky-cranberry thing on the top, along with earth and some exotic herbal notes and lots of that electric motor -"touch the 9 volt battery to your tongue" thing, but I seem to taste too much of the edges of the wine and not enough substance. So I'm going with Gary and not with Parker on this one. Continuing… I’ve had this bottle open for a day to see if it would open up.
