Decanted two hours. Full bioded with expressive notes of sweat blackcurrent jam, underwood notes, sap and bitterness of bloody orange. Nice enhnace with aeration. Slightly unbalance on the side of alcohol, but in winter it is not a problem face to a nice complexity. Amaron like, with its notes of black chocolate and coffee.

Dark notes of chocolate and Blackberries jam. mouth sweat, fine tannins, old prunes and sap, close to an amarone in the style. extracted, need a bit of air. Ending on coffee. Appreciable in winter. Quite shy after opening.

The alcohol is very present now and it has become port-like. The fruit is still very rich with dark forest fruit and the mouthfeel very savoury but I am coming to the conclusion that these wines are not made for ageing and should be drunk very young in their primary voluptuousness. Same goes for CDP!

Open one day before, 3/4 of the bottle left, because of a presumption of a temporary muted time. Woaw, now this wine is open. Supple texture, creamy and jamy blackberries and blackcurrant. Smooth tannins, elegant. Full bodied. This wine is a closed period, decantation is essential. But I don't know how long. Perhaps after 24h it was on the way down. Anyway it is a jewel. My buddy Cpt Cutlass was right: a lightning star.

Still very good but it has become too port-like for my pleasure. I did not decant which was a mistake!
