All I got from this bottle was porty, overripe fruit and a very heavy impact on the palate. The alcohol didn’t stick out, but that’s about the only positive I can think of. A flawed bottle or just not my style anymore? I’m unsure, but I got little to no pleasure from this wine.

J’avais peu d’attentes envers cette bouteille, jumelée à d’autres bouteilles que je convoitais à l’encan. Ce fut une belle surprise.
La robe montre des traces d’évolution certaine, orange presque brunâtre. Un nez très épicé, avec du kirsch, un peu d’orange sanguine. La bouche est mûre, sur les dattes et raisons de corinthe, quelques notes amères et une cuillerée de confiture de grand-maman. Fraîcheur adéquate, un peu trop d’alcool, mais une finale assez longue et savoureuse. Boire sans trop attendre. 90 pts

Since my last bottle about five years ago, this has taken on some earthy, aged notes. Black and blue fruit tones, dark honey. There is a lot of fruit here, but it is restrained compared to the bigger vintages and there is a nice dose of balancing acidity. This is really drinking well. I like this vintage in CdP.
