Purple-red, light-to-moderate extraction. Butter, barnyard and red fruit notes in nose. Raspberry, black pepper, black currant and mint flavors. Soft acidity. Moderate but high density skin astringency, mild seed bitterness in finish. Tannins need aeration time, softening. 24 hours later, flavors go flat fairly quickly despite Vacuvin use. Somewhat disappointing wine with its transient flavors. Drink up quickly once you open it.

Strawberry, blueberry, earth, and a little pepper and leather. A very nice declassified Chateneuf de Pape!
