  Great wine, paired with charcuterie fun to try with lots of differnent cheeses! Tastes surprisingly young for 2010, still a lot of fruit and meduim-high tannins. Keeps getting better over time! Excited to try the '06 vintage.

  This is still so young. The first CDP I've really enjoyed in a while. A hint of garrigue, some savory notes, and lots of dark fruits. At 14 years old this is still very primary, with lots of fruit and medium tannins. I would have guessed something from the late teens. Really not getting much age here. With a couple hours of air the fruit veers toward boisonberry. This is lovely stuff, and it's sad that this estate doesn't exist anymore.

  More pronounced heat than I like. It was fine.

  Nose classic black raspberry pastille, herbal - garrigue. quite floral, too. A bit of a smoky note, too, and some citrus peel - orange, I think. Some asian spice. Palate balanced, if a tad hot and heavy (it is a warm vintage of southern Rhone after all ). good fruit, some secondary herbal notes. Moderately long finish. Hint of astringency - in the best possible way. Tannins largely resolved. This is really well made wine - and on the side of CdP that I still am OK with. I respect it more than I like it, though. Score based on quality, not my liking.
