Dark red in the glass with a very rich bouquet of red fruit, mature cherries, dark chocolate, coffee and licorice. The palate is expressive and evolves with time. Many of the bouquet notes show in the palate, with a long finish. Still a hit tight, but not tannic. I think it might continue to evolve over a couple more years but not beyond that. My next and last bottle in 2026.

This is basically made of raspberry jam, dried figs, milk chocolate, bbq smoke and bacon. With all those rich and sweet layers you also get a focused acidic lift and considerable but extremely fine grained tannins. In my very humbled opinion this is a textbook CdP , that is extremely good but lacks any extra special features to qualify as totally outstanding.

Sommelier Scholarship Fund Tasting (Popina - Brooklyn NY): Walk around tasting. Large scaled and well spiced with wonderful balance and length. This would thrill me served with a great rare steak. Good already this young, certainly further upside.

Du fruit, de l’extraction et 15% d’alcool. C’est très bien mais trop jeune à mon goût. Tout cela doit encore se fondre.
