Still tasting great !! At or near peak !! More like a CDP than a CDR Perfect cork after over a dozen years in the bottle. Dark red with little to no oxidation with medium clarity. Aromas of plum, black cherry, and vanilla. Silky flavors of black cherry cola, licorice, currant, blackberry, glycerin, and leather with a hint of tobacco and mushroom; and has a medium flavorful finish. A blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Mourvèdre, and the rest a mix of varieties.

Herby mature characters, really slow running legs, gives hints of rioja, lacks fruityness or tannins for a long life in bottle. Drink before 2017 or buy something else

Opened as a pop and pour, but didn't decant. Needs a couple of hours to open up and the fruit really integrates nicely with the minerals, botanicals and tobacco when it's open. It's truly a baby CdP!! I'm rating this wine a 91 on absolute quality, but on QPR this wine is hard to even challenge let alone beat.
