Interesting wine and nothing like what was expected. Medium bodied with sweet but also tart redfruit. Mineral, licorice, clove, vanilla, dried herbs…. The density and extraction builds with time but still retains more freshness than most CDP. Drank from a magnum.

Now here is a wine popped, the 2nd of 2 purchased 3+ years ago. I consumed the 1st bottle and had very positive thoughts on it. I knew some time would be kind to the other bottle, this poor lost puppy that needed a home. And quite a home I gave him. Poached eggs and toast, sometimes on an English muffin w hollandaise sauce in the mornings. Cured Iberico ham on toast made from the local French bakery for lunch with various cheeses, olives, truffle oils, and sideaments. And for dinner, whatever we felt like eating, prepared from our very own personal chef from Lyon. Needless to say, it's been a good 3 years for me and Mr. Mordoree. We had a time, and a time I'll always remember. But even if I would ever forget, I'll always have these notes. These precious notes, as an historical reminder of better days long gone. You were a thrill a swill... Good bye my friend.... until we meet again... 97+ get better my friend. with time you can always get better!

Stellar wine. Lots of fruit and still quite primary. Lots of upside.
