CdP blind tasting. Illuminating evening, while there were some nice and complex wines there were also quite a few misses. Issues revolved around either not aging well and becoming pruney, oxidative with cooked fruit aromas or just being too heavy/sweet/alcoholic. TN: The nose here is deep and complex. The nose has waxy, stone fruit, bitumen and some anise seed aromas. On the palate clearly a rich wine (15% Alc) but lots of phenolics make it not flabby but manageable on the palate as well. Not my style of wine, but well made.

Brought to a dinner, shared with friends. Found this to be a big meh-. Sulphur, lemon, some waxiness but mostly unremarkable.
