Not your usual cdr. Very funky at first but blows off after a couple hours. Blueberries, smoke.

This was fairly closed for a 3 year old Cotes du Rhone and I wished I had read other tasters of this Wine on Delectable before pulling the Wine and giving it more time in the cellar. This was 100% Syrah and was more structured and serious than one usually expects from CdR. Dried Plum with Charcoal notes. Nothing like CdR from Guigal at around $20. This was $64 AUD. Would like to try in 5+ years.

This was the second dreamy number from the evening. And the 2015 recently arrived so I know where my next $45 is going.
