Rich black cherries and kirsch-like notes from the intense, ripe, old vines CdP fruit, Syrah and Mourvèdre still providing some lovely structure, this is absolutely a beautiful medium-aged CdP with nice length, just lovely!!

Just right, a touch high pitched but with nice balance, a bit of bramble and excellent fruit -- not particularly secondary, lovely, better than I might have anticipated w very nice finish
