August 22, 2023 - Much darker than I recall the first bottle being. This bottle had a lot of solids in it and really required filtering to remove them. It tasted somewhat over-oxidized with the filtering and rather nicely fresh with it. The Grenache really dominates. We liked this one a lot and killed it off in two days.

April 15, 2022 - Another two years have passed since my last taste of this wonderful CDP.
As before, this just gets better and better with age. Black currants, pepper, leather and berries. Nice balance and acidity with a smooth, velvety texture. -

August 25, 2021 - An elegant dark red wine. Black cherry and plum fruits with a bit of spice the first day. Second day a very smooth melody of dark fruit. Nice finish.
