Wow! This came together nicely after another couple of years since I had it last. Smooth textures throughout a very long finish. The region tells nicely on nose and palate.

Very dark red color, has a great nose of spices and fruit. medium to full body with lush dark fruit taste. Lots of spice notes that compliment the rich fruit. This bottle is one of the pricier CdR's at my local wine shop but definitely worth the extra $$$. I can imagine this will be even more enjoyable in a few years.

Not especially complex, but very pleasant and rich. Very dark, not so tannic. Smooth with brief finish. But I hope it will hold up for a while, just purchased a case. All in all, very nice.

A friend brought this for dinner on Christmas. Opened not decanted. Very, very young. Needs several years in the cellar. Harsh, tannic, with coarse black fruit notes; ends with a sour and puckery finish. Also needs some heavy and hearty winter food to pair with.

Elegant and smooth. Subtle tannins over dark berry and some leather. So much more mellowed than when younger.

A good mix of dark fruits that are a little chewy at first. Some nice garrigue elements with a touch of green peppers. A steal for $13.
