Drinks a lot like grape juice with just a bit of toasted wood. The profile is quite flat with juice...just a hint short of being jammy. Not a fan. Had against a Ch Cosme, which was much better.

Second bottle, much like the first. Deep purple color in the glass. Fairly fruit-forward CdR, but enough earthy/funky notes to add some complexity. Drank well on its own both times, without food.

We drank this over the course of 3H, opened up nicely. Big, dark, brooding fruit. Accompanied our homemade Caccio e Pepe pasta quite well and we both enjoyed it. Looking forward to drinking the rest of these over the next few years. Drinking well now, not sure how it will continue to mature but optimistic.

Garnet in color, earth and light fruit on the nose; a bit of funk on the palate, but overall some earth and soft fruit; nice finish.
