April 20, 2024 - Decanted (Voss) for ~3hrs before serving, alongside the 2011 SQN 11th Confession Grenache. Both high-octane blockbusters, this came across even "bigger" than the SQN. At 17-yrs (of age), this still seemed to be evolving (if at all) at a glacier pace. Nosed of blackberries, figs and some herbs, this was big, lush, concentrated, jammy (w/ hints of stewed fruits) but yet showed good freshness/acidity on the palate. Hopefully the extraction/lushness will temper down with more age, and coupled with the acidity/freshness, it'll develop into a more attractive wine... For now, quite a bruiser...

March 29, 2024 - The 2007 CDP vintage continues to disappoint. Was really hoping for a good bottle here, as this wine has been properly stored since release. Alas it is sadly DOA.

February 19, 2024 - Decanted about an hour. Great nose and palate for a couple hours afterwards. Rather powerful on both, but paired well with Greek gyros and tzatziki.

January 16, 2024 - Drank at dinner, so no detailed notes, but damn, this was good. A heavenly nose, and such intensity on the palate. I'm almost sorry I shared it with the rest of the dinner party.
