  Consumed over 2 nights. Big and alcoholic. Had a hard time getting past the cocktail aspects of this. I guess I enjoyed it more on night one where there were some savory aspects to this but still found it too big for my palate.

  Disappointing upon PNP. After an hour in the bottle with a slow O, this really started to open up & blossom. Very different experience compared to the last bottle we had in Mar ‘23 which was open right out of the gate. This one was very harsh upon opening. Prickly tannins, disjointed & alcoholic. Turned into a beauty on the nose & palate!

  From a good vintage with a long picking season known for its acid and elegance. Clear, medium+ ruby.
  
  Nose is powerful and upfront. Typical CdP notes of leather, mint, blueberry and blackberry compote with a floral elegance.
  
  Palate is full, ripe and spicy. Chalky tannins. Hot and drinks very young.
  
  Flavours are lean and disappointing, lacking fruit density.
  
  Too young. Give it another decade.
