Perhaps my expectations were lowered by the multiple "meh" or "flawed" reviews, but I thought this was a perfectly acceptable wine. Did have some funk on the nose on opening. Fortunately, I always plan on letting a CdP breathe for a while. After 6 hours in the decanter, that was gone and things were much more sorted. I'm not saying it's great, but it's as good as I would expect a $40 CdP to be.

Vin avec une belle maturité. Beau nez, vin pas trop corsé. Amertume présente sur le cassis, canneberge et boisé. Rond, facile d’approche, un beau chateau9 pas trop dispendieux.

Corked. Normally I hate corked wines. As the final bottle of six, I will make an exception for this wine. Will never buy this producer again.

Meh. Continue to be disappointed in the 2012 vintage for the Southern Rhône.
