Much better than the previous bottle. Rich nose of ultra-ripe boysenberry, blackberry and Danson plum as well as garrigue. Medium-bodied, this has a decent amount of tannin and medium acid on a lean (for CdP) frame. Still kicking, this is probably best in the short run. Drink now-2026 90

Was a bit worried after reading a few reviews it was past its prime, I have a a few. Not at all in my cellar! On the nose plenty of fruit and spice. A bit of blackberry and earthy tones. Really enjoying.

Opened and pecked at over two days. Porty, heavy fruit, low acid and bitter high alcohol (I suspect stronger than the 15% admitted to on the label). Dumped it.

Not to my liking tonight. Closed/stinky at first. After 2+ hours in decanter, it’s redolent of eucalyptus and other herbs. Medium bodied, this is likely past its prime but has many years before falling apart. Hopefully this is an off bottle (but does not taste flawed). 87-ish

brief decant, drank well over the course of an hour. balanced, secondary-tertiary notes, a little bit of bramble, enjoyable. seems at full maturity?
