Too ill at Christmas to drink this; were there good tidings for those who wait? Inky purple. Butter, herb, mint and raspberry notes in nose. Candied raspberry, cherry (and later sweet red plum) flavors with length, white pepper, some eucalyptus and honey, slight seed bitterness and some skin astringency on side of tongue in finish. Black pepper aftertaste. Blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Grenache, 14% Malbec, 13% Petite Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Mourvèdre
