  Medium ruby. Healthy nose of sharp red berry, heady high pitched violets, earth, damp cellar. Layers of youthful delicious raspberry, holiday spices, fine iron shards, hints of oak, fine earth on the satiny palate. Fresh acidity and firm but fine-grained tannin. Long finish of lifted red berry, iron flecks, and tart bramble. Already delicious, this wine is stacked for future glories. Opened to celebrate L’s 75th.

  No rating, this bottle was good but just that. I have had this many times and the nose seemed a bit off.

  Opened to accompany the cheese course of a milestone birthday dinner at the Inn at Little Washington, this bottle was actually in a better place than the Clos des Ducs. No decant, but very soft tannins and really lovely red cherry fruit. Great pairing with the Inns fabulous cheese cart.

  No notes, first CDL but did buy the 2020 vintage. Was so excited to try, and the timing couldn’t have been better as the Vinous article just came out. I can see why this property gets a lot of opinions but you can’t ignore its pedigree. Since first taste, can’t extrapolate nor tend to understand more recent vintage changes and possible enhancements, it comes across less dynamic than I would have expected for such a ripe vintage. It does have great balance both in structure, fruit, mineral and overall delivery. Look forward to tasting a more recent vintage.
