My Prima IlConsorzio shipment arrived last week & I cracked:
1. Ch.Cesseras Dd'OP: Minervois Cuvee Olric (14.5%; 60% Syrah/20% Mourv/20% Carignan; www.DomaineCoudoulet.com; WineHouse/SF) Dom.Coudoulet 2022: Very dark color; very strong peppery/blackberry/Srah bit plummy/licorice strong toasty/oak some earthy/dusty/OV fairly complex buig/rustic nose; lightly tart rather rough/tannic/rustic strong blackberry/Syrah/plummy/licorice some toasty/Fr.oak light earthy/dusty/OV some complex flavor w/ modest chewey tannins; very long finish that mimics flavor; speaks strongly of SRhone Syrah a bit like Fonsalette Syrah but not as complex & polished; a bit on the rustic but should age well; a steal at $16.00 (PrimeIlC)
