December 7, 2022 - Very nice as all Chryseia's I had. No need for decanting, but due to age, lot of sediment.

April 28, 2020 - 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. -

April 18, 2020 - 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.
