Initially very tight and astringent. Needed a good hour to open in the decanter and could have used much more time. Dark and brooding CdP with strong tannins and some acid. Earth, tar, bitter chocolate, blackberry. Lovely wine.

Dark red brick in colour; dark berries, black cherries, and plums on the nose with some hollowness surrounding it. Soft palate of cherry and minerals; some jamminess with some greenish herbs accompanying it; light tannins and dry on the finish. Still has that pinot-like feature that I noted 4 years ago.

Corked, or simply bad.

Enjoyable CdP, minerality, cherry, plum on the palate. Soft tannins. Very pinot-like.
