  February 15, 2012 - Good development with notes of burnt sugar, spicebox, dark ripe fruits and garrique. Rounded and full taste, mature, very user-friendly. Yummy.

While other folks have described it as "thin," I think that comes from the shrill finish, because it does have plenty of ripe fruit lurking in the background -- it's just that the awful finish takes over very, very quickly. Methinks it has a dekkera problem! Yuck. Not good, and not a repurchase.

  October 21, 2009 - On the thin side for a 2007 CdR. Not offensive, but not worth $14.

  January 20, 2009 - This is the wine equivalent of a suede sofa covered with sand. The very initial taste of lush berries was immediately overrun by an overwhelming dusty/gritty palette. The fruit is round with decent acidity, but I cannot get over coarseness of this wine. Also a tad thin and short on the finish.
  
  Day 2 - got a little smoother overnight, but lost complexity and started to taste a little flat. With 3-4 years I can see this being more in the 86-87 range
