Intensely packed black fruits, ripe and soaked, pushing hedonistic but maintaining that fresh snap. Classic 2016. Very stoney, warm earth abound, a true sense of CNDP minerality here. I think the Mourvèdre component really shines through here, love the animal, fur, herbs and deep resounding tannin from it. Drank over two nights and it barely moved an inch, this will continue to age beautifully.
