A bit of a wild card pull out of my dad’s cellar that’s surprise delicious!! Paso CDP blend (43% G, 38%S, 18%M). Nice complex, supple, more brooding but tangy dark fruit. Black cherry, wild strawberry, red plum,. Cigar Ashe, Carolina BBQ. Some Grenache-y fruit gumminess. Tannins relaxed but structural. Terrific juicy acid. Two awesome notes my mother (who refuses to *taste* red wine) from the nose: plywood dust, watermelon rind.
