This 2004 is quite impressive as this wine is very reminiscent of Northern Rhone Cote Rotie.

Pre gcm. Emil may have given this to me during the 08 SA trip. Maybe a day past its prime. Loads of rich, darker red fruits than lean ever so slightly to the savory zone. Something in the cocoa family, or cocoa tinged something I can't place. 14.3 and it shows tho not disturbing. 2004 in Jan '20.
