The 1st sip upon opening showed a beautiful bouquet of dark fruits, then double decanted to removed the sediment and the wine developed secondary tones of chocolate, black pepper, garrigue, earthy spices, but alcohol is overpowering, hence not 90 because of the disbalance.

After a brief decant, this medium bodied wine accompanied dinner very well. Fruitiness has long been left behind, but mellow earthy flavors persist. Finish is short but pleasant. It is drinking nicely now, but the brownish hue makes me wonder how much more time it has left before going downhill. It seems to me that drinking this wine soon is the best course of action.

Fully resolved palate though all a bit workman-like. Now quite soft and sweet with a little olive character.

Light, easy to dring - not the strong, complex and heavy typically CndP style. Perfect to drink now!
