This is dark and primary still. A tarry nose with a medicinal twist (Benadryl?). The palate is ripe and blocky. Few signs of its substantial age- deep and rich. Like an old school Cornas. Apparently these has 3-6 months contract with skin with minimal punching down which explains their unusual longevity. Amazing stuff.

1964. Beautiful, aromatic, leathery, with significant grip. Will live for another 30 years easy.

Super cool to try. Def hotter than Piedmont with more coffee and chocolate notes outside that strong core of acid and just a touch of volatility. Great bottle
