Can a bottle be 1-2% corked? There was so much still here, but finally the bottle wasn't completely right. A tiny bit of basement goes a long way, though. Bummer. We drank it as a follow-up to a sexy 2005 C-d-P; in an ideal world (wherein real-world tests adhere to my intra-cranial theses), this wine would have stood up to that very well. Alas.

Medium red. Almost Koolaid like, grapy nose with a hit of floral incense as well. Medium bodied with thin, superficial red fruit and not much in the way of mid-palate concentration or finish.

With hours of air this obliterates many C-d-P's at twice the price. Herbaceousness out the wazoo, bay leaves, deep black and blue flavors, menthol, garrigue, wet forest, cut pine, etc. Needs air!!!

Didn't pay too much attention, but it was pretty good. Still, seems like it was better two years ago.
