As some previous TNs have noted, you could think this was sort of an intro level CDP. Excellent bottle, Well-balanced. It got a little hot toward the end (maybe the alcohol content), but it was well worth letting this one age for a while.

Maybe I'm odd, but I love the balance-of-ripe-cherry-meets-raisin. Tannins? I can't even remember..must try again soon, which won't be difficult having up and bought 2 cases at a price that could not be refused. Suggestive of CdP? maybe I exaggerate, but awfully, awfully delightful.

Funky nose of sour cherry and gaminess. Notes of tar and salt and a bit of garrigue. Really wild nose. I liked it. Medium bodied and somewhat feral. Nice red fruit. Some sour cherry and berries. The finish had a vein of salt running through it. I thought it was more interesting on the nose than to drink.

Amazing. This is prime ready to drink right now. Gorgeous color and complex nose. Tastes of leather and hoof. A delight!

Raspberry, fresh and fruity, vibrant still and quite tasty.
