  Similar to last tn from 2021 but has definitely improved since that time; definitely has awaken from its slumber and is very much in its ideal drinking window.

  A l’ouverture, la robe est légèrement évoluée, rouge tendant sur un peu de brun. Le nez est alcooleux. En bouche, des arômes de chocolat et de fruits très mûrs dominent de manière peu équilibrée. Le vin est surtout très très astringent. Epaulé et bu deux heures plus tard, le vin a très bien évolué. Les arômes se sont fondus au bénéfice d’une agréable complexité. L’astringence a presque totalement disparu et l’alcool (15%) est désormais bien intégré. La trame acide reste suffisante pour penser qu’il n’y a pas d’urgence à terminer ses stocks. Au final, un bon vin castelneuvois qu’il faut impérativement aérer.

  Eagles TN is spot on. Drank slightly chilled to counter the actual heat and the heat in the bottle. Worked quite well.
  Nice CdP but not special by any means.

  30 minute decant. Colour of light-medium pomegranate-garnet. Nose of dark cherries with some wet tobacco and berry iodine. Ripe earthy raspberries and black cherries with a touch of iodine on its meaty palate; the 15% abv is very noticeable. Medium bodied with a medium finish. Last tasted January 2016.
