60/40 Grenache/Syrah; Beautiful darker flavors, excellent structure, nice complexities. Very nice, though the syrah makes it atypically dark and brooding for CdP.

Unfortunately some ethyl acetate on the nose is a distraction; palate is dark, rich, deep black plum, almost dark chocolate, thought the ethyl acetate comes through a bit on the palate. If the EA is a result of bottling and transporting a sample, and the final wine is clean, this could be fabulous.

Quite ripe nose, then ripe, sweet, medium dark plum, bright, spicy, touch hot. Taken too far, and losing the character of CdP.
