9.1

Medium intensity plum color. Floral nose with vanilla bean, blackberry... Medium plus alcohol heats the vanilla. Full-bodied, blue fruit with vanilla and razorblade spiciness on the palate. Bitter. Medium acidity, medium plus tannins. I honestly don't know if this will round out with more time. It's good, but I've definitely had more balanced CNdP. Yes, it's young.
