This bottle seems more like lush, round Morello cherries. Tannins more resolved. Lovely now but tends to confirm my view that carignan heavy wines come around pretty quickly despite being angular in their youth.

A great vintage of this. All the punchy dark and spicy carignan fruit one could hope for and even some refinement to the plentiful tannins while remaining fresh.
