  A really nice CDP that went well with Beef Bourguignon.

  Tasted after TIARI Deux in Aurora. Huge amounts of strawberries on the nose and strawberry and port like on the pallet. I tasted this on day two of the wine being opened so it was able to breathe and show all of its characteristics. Fairly simple but delicious. I'm not sure how long this will last but is drinking very good now. 90-91 points

  Fruit forward throughout. Bright fruits. Very decent.... a bit simple but nice. Straightforward and easy.

  This wine, an opaque ruby liquid resembling a young Bordeaux, was splash-decanted and enjoyed over the ensuing 2-3 hours. The nose is immediately expressive of assorted spices, garrigue, bramble fruits and black cherry. Full-bodied on the palate, with medium acidity, massive black fruit and herb flavors, well-integrated tannins and seamless alcohol (which is listed as 14.5%). The middle is very solid and the medium-to-long finish ends with a whiff of heat. I paid $31 for this wine...some may do better, most will do worse. Buy up!!! Drink now-12/21.

  Bright strawberry and floral notes. Excellent expression of modern style here. Provided a terrific reference point against their more traditional offerings. Tasted at winery in CDP and had one bottle at rental in Provence.
