Very ripe, with an almost liqueur sort of taste to it. Some attractive herbs and spice as one expects from the CdR but very bitter and astringent on the finish. Macerated too long? My notes for the 2010 were much the same but the bitterness here is even more overt. Give this another 2 years at least and keep your fingers crossed that this mellows and the fruit holds. I rather doubt it.
For now, it is rather joyless. Tasted May 2022.
