Dense fruit, sweet Grenache, quite extracted, but keeps some sort of balance, rich wine, still young but as with so many of the 2009's, I am not really sure where.

A hedonistic CdP with luscious Grenache fruit and prominent sweetness that somehow does not overstate its case.

Best after I learned to drink quickly. Right out of the bottle, a pleasant and enjoyable super-ripe CdP. Pruney, jammy, stewy, with some stemmy(?) spice and tannin. When allowed to air and open in the glass, fell apart into a hot, herbal (decaying fall foliage) straight-up mess. BUT, when consumed quickly at cellar temperature, tasty.
