  Beautiful nose with notes of lavender, kirsch, garrigue, minerals and deep cherry. Perfectly integrated and balanced on the palate. The quality here is evident. This is in a perfect window.

  From 75cl, good cork, decanted 60 minutes. Monster wine with XXXL everything. Mega kirsch rumtopf nose with heavy alcohol whiff; unctuous entry leading to an absurdly concentrated, roasted-raisiny, 16% alc-dominated orgy of a mid-palate. Very good indeed if you like that sort of thing, in a late 1990s OTT Ravenswood Zinfandel style. Happy to have tried this, once, but no need ever to encounter it again. 89P

  Very good CdP but going on memory. I will drink the others in the next couple of years.

  So good! My opinion couldn’t be swayed by the fact that that the ‘06 version was our wedding reception wine. We’ve had every vintage since and all I can say is that it’s still good, very good.

  This is a very delicious CdP, despite the 16% abv. The fruit is fresh and persistent.
