2004 The Chocolate Block

[TheEngineer]

45% Syrah, 25% Grenache Noir, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cincault, 2% viognier.

This wine is very dark and thick. It does remind people of chocolate in its delivery (thick and sweet). Nose is full of dark cherries and chocolate and some spiciness. This wine is very rich and fruit forward to the point of almost being cloy. Decent structure at end but I could not get over the very heavy fruit forwardness of it. Not really a fan of this style but there is certainly a lot going on in the wine.
