  I wasn't expecting a lot from this as I had recently had the 2008 Grand Ciel and found it a tad underwhelming. To my pleasant surprise, this was outstanding even with a PnP. Well-integrated tannins, lots of depth, and a great pairing with our bacon-wrapped figs and scallops.

  Better on day 2, even after plenty of aeration.

  Two years since last tasting has reduced the cedar and cigar notes, showing more fruit and red mountain character
  
  Smokey bramble aromatics
  Intense on palate, some heat on top, long, slightly dusty tannins, long blue acidity
  
  Hold a few more years yet

  My wife and I tasted this at the Carriage House tasting room on 6/7/19. It had a rich, balanced, but tight nose of black currant, blackberry, blueberry, cinnamon, sage, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was tight and dry with flavors that followed the nose.
