Excellent vin. la très grande puissance (16 degrés) ne se fait pas ressentir grâce a la finesse des aromes et du toucher en bouche. c'est complexe et prêt a boire

Zombie Wines at Terra Rossa (Terra Rossa, Islington): To be fair it does not taste as hot as 16% might suggest, but it is not an easy tipple by any means. Decent dark fruits, a little plum and prune, quite spicy and deep. Elegant it is not though, and even knowing its abv makes me immediately predisposed against it I am sad to say. People should not be allowed to make wine at this level!

Surprisingly primary flavours even after 15 years - very fruit forward. Not that tannic. I’d never have guessed that this was 15 years old. *Fantastic* length. Slightly hesitant to score it as I’m conscious that CNDP with this level of alcohol (16%!) is rarely my bag - and indeed it wasn’t really, and the alcohol heat definitely made its presence felt. This was the first of a 6 bottle case - I’ll be putting the other 5 back in the cellar for at least 4 more years, and adjusting my CT drinking window accordingly.

So much better than previous bottle several years ago. Very mellow and singing as soon as the cork was pulled. Rich , dark fruit with with a long strong finish

Zombie wines of North London (Terra Rossa): OMG - 16% CNDP... really not good, and I like CNDP! Glad to have tried it as a curiosity.
