Dark red; intense concentrated nose with dark berries and some licorice; broad soft silky attack also with quite some power (15.5%!), nice acidity, no jam, lightly biting tannins and a slight dry mouth towards the end; lots of taste and intense; really nice (but on the powerful side)

Wine Bordeauxphilia (at Adina's): Traditional Rhône Valley winemaking, with fermentation in concrete tanks and aging in foudres and demi-muids for 18 months Deep, ruby color with complex aromas of black fruits, spices, and garrigue. Full-bodied and powerful, with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. Excellent CDP. Can drink now or age further.

Dark berries, licorice and garrigue. Good acidity and soft tannin. Full bodied wine with a firm amount of sweetness. The wine is in its maturity stage now.

Christmas dinner at Bruce and Robin's. Decanted and aerated to 2 hours in the late afternoon, then rebottled and consumed at dinner with beef tenderloin. Fairly high EtOH without food, but at the table with food was not notably hot. Spectacular wine. Drink now with air or hold.

A dark colour, and a rich, concentrated, somewhat sweet wine, with blackberry and dark plum fruit, spice and warmth, and balancing acidity.
