November 25, 2019 - WSET Level 3; 11/3/2019-2/3/2020 (San Diego, CA): Tasted blind. Incorrectly identified as 2010-2012 Crozes-Hermitage.
Med ruby, with deposits and signs of bricking near rim. Med+ intensity, fully developed aromas of tertiary bottle age (black tea, game, dried herbs), tertiary fruit (dried cherries, dried raspberry, dried blackberries), secondary oak signs (vanilla, toast, coffee), and primary aromas of herbal (mint, fennel, liquorice), floral (violets, roses) and dried fruit (baked fruit, kirsch). The palate is dry, med acid, full body, med+ intensity, med tannins, high alcohol, and a long finish. Palate reflects the nose while leaning heavily towards the oak, primary black fruits, stony minerals, and distinct leathery, roast game flavor. Very good, drink now, not suitable for further aging.
