Clos Thales Côtes Catalanes Clos d'en Coulon

This is fun. Raw old-school Scholium.

Dust, cinnamon, dark red fruit and raisin nose and flavor. Medium tannins. I like it but overpaid. Better on second night.

The nose showed intense, creamy dark fruits, medicinal herbs, and vanilla. On the palate, it was rich and velvety with cinnamon and intense palate-staining black fruits. Its structure showed through into the finish, but it was heavily counteracted by remnants of intense fruit.

Port like, slaty, extracted. Yuck!
