  Drinking fabulous today. Initial kirsch and black fruit immediately turned to smoke and tar. Did not improve on second day.

  Well, continuing to improve! Can't believe these CdP from a negociant are doing so well and a 2006 at that. Animal fur and gamy to begin with followed by juicy but not excessively heavy black fruit. Quite balanced. No trouble aging further.

  Pretty light for a CdP. Mature raspberry and black cherry flavors with a hint of spice and forest floor. Aromas are the best part -- lavender and dried herbs. Opened for about an hour. Don't see this getting any better.

  Decanted and tasted after drinking a couple of jammy fruit forward new world wons this was a nice contrast.
  Lots of terroir drive flavors, bark, leather, truffles, fresh dirt, all balanced by notes of tea, plum and black cherry, with the latter filling out the finish quie nicely. My last bottle of twelve.
