Tasted vis-avis the 2012; very tight, needs air, then it arrives with a clear cut fruit. Certain on the light, elegant, mineral side, a chateauneuf from before the hype - and maybe the style, that is returning

Has improved from last tasting. Paired with grilled skirt steak. Raspberry, earth, saline on nose. On palate, raspberry, tart cherry with medium body, high acidity & long finish. Needed ~ 30 minutes to shine.

Solid CdP. Teak and musty on the nose. Palate is tannic but not too bad. Popped and tasted then decanted. Consumed over three hours. Very good now but...
Would recommend a longer decant or a few more years in the bottle to get the best out of it.
Think it would be a 92 with age.

this is drinking great now, smooth, balanced, flavorful. As a rule I like big wines which this is not (IMO). It did not seem to have a high alcohol level. I will enjoy seeing how this wine evolves over time if I can keep from drinking them up.

I absolutely loved this, enough to buy 10 bottles, I will give a more detailed note after I have the opportunity to drink a bottle. Probably the best CDP I've tasted.

Mais où avais-je la langue et le nez il y a quelques mois alors qu'une première bouteille ne m'avait guère impressionné. Tout le contraire pour celle-ci qui m'a conquise et j'anticipe un heureux vieillissement. 91(+)

Decanted for 1.5 hours before dinner of grilled lamb chops. Dark reddish/purple color. Very tight on nose & palate at dinner and then 18 hours later - Raspberry, black raspberry on nose. On palate, baking spice, black raspberry, cherry, cinnamon on palate - medium body, high acids and long finish. 91+ Traditional CDP - needs a few years before I would try again. No movement over-night.

4 juillet à Rennes avec Axone et le groupe dégustation (Rennes, Bretagne, France): Rouge foncé dans le verre. Fruits rouges et d'herbes sèches sur le nez. Saveurs bien équilibrées et modérément structuré de fruits rouges mûrs avec un peu d'olive et de chêne.
