The wine has really classic old world CDP character. It’s dark and brooding and filled with garrigue. However it is too young and is disjointed and lacks integration. I’ll try it again in 2025.

90 minutes decanted. Wine was beautifully balanced with very fine tannins and dark integrated fruit. Held up to ny strip steak but not a spicy Syrah at all.

Very refined for a Zin. Great balance of cedar and fruit. Drank well within 15 minutes. Paid $110 at restaurant.
