March 30, 2024 - Very nice. But nothing to write home about. Will give the next bottle as couple years in cellar to see if it deepens up a bit.

January 13, 2024 - Approx. 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and for the rest mainly Syrah with a bit of other allowed grape varieties. Medium deep color with some evolution, a quite muted bouquet with mainly Provencal herbs and garrigue, on the palate some black fruits, harsh tannins, acidity, a lot of heat from the 16% alcohol (even to my own very tolerant criteria) and medium length. This wine seems disjointed right now and might gain more charm and complexity with several years of cellaring. On the pleasure scale this merits only a score of 88 for now. If all the components come together this might score several points more, but it is hard to predict where this is heading.

August 28, 2023 - Opened last night. I used to absolutely LOVE CdPs, but lately (the past few years) I find myself not liking them near as much. Is it me? Or this wine? I see the notes are kind of all over the place on this one. I have to say I am more in agreement with the "underwhelming" notes than other more superlative descriptions. Still remind me a bit of strawberries, but seems dirty, muddled, just a bit off. Baking spices are too much in evidence, quite fat with little acidity, this just comes across to me as overblown and too ripe. 4-10-10-5: 79/100.
