@Delectable Wine La Bessade.

Served blind to me (after aerating 2+ hours in the decanter) I guessed this as:
1. Napa CS
2. Syrah (possibly from WA)
3. Cornas
4. Crozes-Hermitage
5. I give up....

Can I now please apply for a job as contractor, pet-walker, welder, school teacher, anything....

The black cherry aromas jump into your nose. Black cherry, black currant, mint, and mushrooms on the palate. Aging very well! Still no rush to drink.

Still needs a bit more time but developing nicely. Black cherry, plum, and spice. Decanted for 30 minutes but really needs more than that at this point.

Decanted for 2 hrs.
Great with Easter Turkey dinner.
BlackBerry, plum, tobacco, cedar, leather, and a bit of mint.
Drinking well now after a long decent but will improve more with age.

Good for an “OK” year - a little thin on the finish.
