Kleur: Opvallend transparant robijnrood met een licht oranjebruine rand. Aroma / bouquet: Het bouquet van deze waardige grijsaard is inmiddels wat subtieler geworden. Maar zeker niet minder aantrekkelijk, harmonieus en verleidelijk. Een hint van gedroogd fruit, zoethout maar geen spoor van serieus tertiaire aroma's. Smaak / Afdronk: Zacht. Zoetig verleidelijk. Mooie balans tussen zuren, gerijpte en afgronde tannines. Nog steeds vitaal maar boterzacht. Lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Prachtigige Ch9dP die me - zoals ik verwachtte - 5-6 jaar later nog steeds niet teleurstelt. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Smaak / Afdronk: 18 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 95/100
Colour: Striking transparent ruby red with a light orange-brown edge. Aroma / bouquet: The bouquet of this dignified old man has become more subtle in the meantime. But certainly no less attractive, harmonious and seductive. A hint of dried fruit, licorice but no trace of serious tertiary aromas. Taste / Aftertaste: Smooth. Sweetly seductive. Nice balance between acidity, matured and abysmal tannins. Still vital but buttery soft. Long finish. Overall / potential: Beautiful Ch9dP that - as I expected - still doesn't disappoint me 5-6 years later. 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / Bouquet: 13 + Taste / Aftertaste: 18 + General / Potential: 9 = 95/100

I suspect this may have had more depth a year or two ago but it was very good. Not too complex, but muted CdP flavors, subtle herbs, pretty light fruit, gentle tannins. If I had more of this which I don't I would drink up.

Purchased on release and professionally stored ever since. Very alive, with a healthy ruby red color; just a hint of lightening on the rim. Meaty, roasted plums, spice and fire pit. Still holding quit a bit of fruit. Delicious and drinking great with still some upside (for well stored bottles).
