This rang up for $10, and I'm glad because I would have felt ripped off at $20. Totally generic. I wasn't really paying attention once I realized it had absolutely no character, so I don't have much to say about it. CDP should mean something, hard to believe it's from that appellation, let alone a fantastic vintage. I seriously can't believe they managed to make such sub-par wine in that area in that vintage. Avoid. Although if it rings up for $10 for you too, it will be the cheapest CDP you ever buy, so why not.

We drank this a couple months ago. We thought this was phenomenal, really vivid and focused, a great bottle of wine. We spent an hour talking about it. Grab some if you find it.

We enjoyed this. Something funky and engaging on the nose, and very well balanced on the palate, with clean, pure fruit.
