"Admiring the intesity of the deep, inky black hue of this wine, gives me the first indication of the weight and complexity that is to follow. An exuberant nose of sweet raspberries, cherries, mulberries, cloves, cardamon, white pepper, bitter chocolate and a pronounced licorice aroma combine to create a seriously classy bouquet. The palate too packs a real punch with unctuous black fruits, spice and an immense mouthfeel epitomising why CNDPs are often described as one of the heavyweights of the wine world. The finish is long, layered and multidimentional. Drink now or stash it away for a few years."
