Not sure what to make of this one. No signs of heat damage (spinning capsule, clean cork, no signs of seepage) but this had prominent stewed prune flavors that sound nothing like other tasting notes. Label says 13.5% but this came off more like a 15.5% overripe CdP from a hot vintage. Very strange wine, but perhaps this bottle was off somehow.

Crunch, fresh, so well balanced. Med+ finish, med+ complexity by the 2 hour mark. One to enjoy now or in a few years, either way you'll be happy. An understated elegance, and a welcome restrained power that adds to the focus, and experience. 13,5% abv. Drink thru 2027.recommended
A lovely and pure beauty with high acidity, low tannins, and bright, crunchy fruit. I really love these wines - this seems like it could drink well for another few years but there is no reason not to enjoy it now.
