To be so young, this is a stunningly good CNDP. The youthful deep purple in color might give the impression that it will be too tight to deliver but very soon after opening, the wine offers up mushrooms, plum, blackberry, herbs Provence, cigar smoke and minerality. Full bodied, but balanced in every respect. A real delight to drink and glimpse into what it will become. Not very much sediment at all. 14.5% alc. With pan seared (beef) sirloin. 02.29.24. Recommended with a nod to Highly Recommended.

Opened, double decanted and left in a cool place for some hours in advance which really opened this one up. It is drinking very well now. Still has some good tannins, so I suspect the window will last for a number of years more

Sweet and succulent cdp. Not much acidity but very tasty with cedar and dark spicy plum notes.

Lovely. Smooth, tannins subdued. Great fruit still. Good to go now and next 3-4 years
