Drank over a few hours. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Sediments towards end of bottle. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of red plums, raisins, stewed veggies, diluted Port, earth. Developed. On the palate, dry, medium acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), slick high tannins, full body. Medium+ fllavour intensity, with flavours of red plums, sweet raisins, dilute Port, licorice, red spices, pepper, vegetal undergrowth. Medium+ finish. Good quality. Could be an enjoyable drink for some folks. Quality is there, but the heat and ripeness of the terroir is undeniable. Drink and enjoy as desired.

Thick raisiny and port-like. Smoky nose. I adore this. Seems like it’s going to be tannic but the teeth don’t stick much at all. Surprisingly easy finish.

Full body, moderate acidity, expressive nose. Palate of plum, raisins, earth and hints of licorice. Tannins fully resolved. Drink now.

Very nice as all Chryseia's I had. No need for decanting, but due to age, lot of sediment.

Last bottle. Just too much raisin for me. Not a fan.
