Xavier CdP use to be a favorite among the not so expensive CdPs. But this one seems to be a little one-dimensional still, like a better Côte-du-Rhône. Dark fruit and berries, quite hot and with some spices. I'll keep some bottles for at least 2-3 years, probably longer. Now 90 p.

Pretty good! Have been drinking a lot of this CdR during the years, and it's never disappointing. Fine fruit and dark berries. 89+. Good value!
