Cherry and blackberry. Some spice. Sweet and well integrated smooth tannins. Drinking well. Nice finish and lip smacking good.

We had the 2010 Vintage on 9/10-11/20. A very good CndP. Black cherry, plum and spice on the palate. A real good earthy spice on the bouquet. Smooth, fruit forward. Bought at the The Wine Watch

Needs 45 minutes of air. Also this is a good wine with noticeably high levels of alcohol (14.5%). But after the air it is well integrated, balanced, intense cherries, cassis and sweetness in the finish. There is good length and some lightness. Overall not my favourite blend but a well made CdP and a well made wine
