Monday, April 8, 2024 - 14.2% abv, 50% whole cluster. Dark garnet. There's some really pretty things going on with this wine at eleven years old - savory aromas of kola nut, violets, game and olives are immediate and nicely intertwined. Yes, there's some Cali-typical purple and blue fruit that's a bit jammy at times, but no one should mistake this for Cornas. It seems relatively unevolved but my feeling is it has another 5-7 years of plateau. Surprisingly good with homemade butter chicken - the tomato and cardamom liked the whole cluster I think.
