Big as usually and for sure a bit over the top. This bottle was a bit more restrained than some neighboring vintages; the fruit shows more red, a bit more pop, garrigue in spades. In a good place. Give it some air and drink up.

Lighter style. Seems to have taken on more age than I would have expected at this stage, with red fruit well in the background and mint and licorice up front. Unless this is hitting a dumb phase, I'd say drink now while you can. This bottle was fading fast.

I’m glad I waited on this wine. It is coming into its own. Still a high alcohol wine but settling into a solid example of CdP.

Typical CdP, rather light in body and colour

Light color. Firm tannins partially obscure the very nice fruit, but nicely balanced nevertheless.
