Good, but feels like it needs longer to mature to round off the tannins, although at 12 years already that's a surprising comment. This is the first of my 2007 CDPs, perhaps it's just a poor example.

The heat referenced in earlier notes is gone, this is in nice fine middle age. Good fruit, pepper and spice, good balance, not the most complex CDP but very drinkable

Really enjoyed this; much more rounded than the previous bottle (opened in 2019). Maybe a bit more age, or maybe given longer after decanting.

Fruity and youthful, yet elegant and good depth, long lasting finish!

Good structure and balance; nice mid-weight red. At a good place, but no immediate rush.
