Followed over 5 hours. You definitely get a sense of the house style here, though this is obviously showing very young. Very pure fruit, good balance. Probably needs 3-5 years, but I expect this will be excellent with additional bottle age.

Ripe with a brûlée note adding to the heady raspberry and macerated strawberry aromas leading to a full palate which adds pink peppercorn and hints of marzipan to the lush red fruit. Acidity is just enough to balance the fruit, alcohol is somewhat elevated, and structure lingers softly through the finish.

dégustation chais d'oeuvre. Ouvert et servi. Nez de fruits rouges mais moins mûrs. Plus confit et élégant en bouche. Légèrement fumé. Encore très jeune. Typique suie de cheminée, cacaoté, un peu girofle. Tanins plus équilibrés. Dans l’esprit des Chateauneuf.

Lunch at my favourite steak place, double decanted for 2 hours, savoury & red fruits, decanting helped soften the wine, good Cdr
