  4/28/2024 - Tony Molester Does not like this wine:

  Excellent fill level
  Long single piece cork
  Sieving recommended.
  Tasted over 3h undecanted.
  
  V: dark red, high opacity.
  N: slightly stewed fruit aromas, a bit spirity.
  P: the mouthfeel is plush, with very little tannic grip. finish is hollow, some bitterness and alcoholic heat.
  
  Overall, out of balance between over-ripeness and the expected flavour intensity. I’ve had many vintages of this wine and this is a weaker vintage.
  
  Drink or hold, limited upside anticipated.
  15.5% abv

  Very dark color. Smells of jammy black cherries, deep blueberries, and a complex mix of graphite, anise, charcoal, dark soil and tobacco. Full-bodied with dry, structured tannins and some moderate acidity, this is a massive wine (15.5% alcohol) but it shows mystique underneath. Blueberry, blackberry, rich saucy fruit, lots of earthy complexity (soil, leaves, scorched earth, wood shavings) with some spicy anise and tobacco. Bold and boisterous but tight-fisted with lots of cellar potential. A blend of equal parts Carignan, Syrah and Grenache. Fermented in concrete, aged about 20 months in used French oak, followed by 18 months aging in concrete and 1 year in bottle before release. This is a cooperative project between Ron Laughton of Australia’s Jasper Hill and Michel Chapoutier.
