  2 hr decant opened this up nicely. 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 5% Vaccarese, 5% misc and not mentioned. Lots of structure, big and bold but in an elegant way even with 15% abv. blackberry, raspberry, leather, licorice, bramble.

  Verticale de la cuvée Reine des Bois du Domaine de la Mordorée (À la maison): Un nez de fruit noir et de fleurs mauves, assez charmeur.
  Le vin est rond et mûr, une bouche jeune et énergique, un peu moins charmeur que le suivant, mais d'une bonne profondeur. Pas très expressif au niveau des arômes, un peu terne. Encore jeune, à revoir dans quelques années.
  
  Surprise au dévoilement. Tous ont considéré qu’il était meilleur une heure plus tard. Je croirais à son potentiel, à revoir dans 3 ans. 91-93+

  Wanted to like this more, but it really aged in a strange way. There are some nice things here for sure, but also some rotting Cherry notes that bother me a lot. The structure is still rather intense, suggesting it’ll go many many more years. So there’s that. Alcohol doesn’t show despite the 15% number.

  Le fruit est encore primaire, les tannins fondus, riche mais élégant, attendre encore 5 ans pour davantage de complexité.

  PNP. Expressive nose of black fruits and West Indian spices. Unfortunately, the heat/alcohol on this wine rendered it undrinkable. This wine would turn most anyone off of CdP. Anyone want my other bottle?
