High alcohol fruity wine for sure. The distant black olive aroma came through, but it was all fruit roll ups from my childhood. Not my style per se, but enjoyable.

Have had bottle variation but this is best showing yet. Black tea, almost blueberry which suggests ripeness but very balanced. Glycerine mid palate

Fun now, but not for the long haul. Tired after an hour.

Lost my notes and can’t remember other than it came off gamey and leather. Did enjoy it.

Sharing with elite palates who shrug; tasting the deep blackberry loveliness and smiling alone.

Definitely needs to open. High alcohol can be overwhelming but once that subsides enjoy the dark red berries and tart cranberry finish. Could crossover new world wine drinkers

Fun drink with meat. Big flavor but surprisingly fresh (for CdP) & grippy. Classic CdP
