  PnP. 55F. Deep red with some bricking, a bit thin on edges. Nose with plum, currant, acid. Thinnish tannins, drinking more like a pinot or lighter wine except peppery finish. Interesting but declining and not as rewarding as earlier bottles.

  While it's a decent effort, to be served vis-avis the Vieux Télegraphe and the Clos des Papes was too much for this one. Not with local feel, this still feels like a modern approach, rich, smooth; just a wee bit gemacht, cellarmade.

  Fine bottle, just made the magical 90. Following the advice of pinoteer, I decanted for an our or so. For this bottle, this resulted in a loss of some of the more primary flavors. I have one more, and I will probably drink it a little more quickly. Just a matter of preference.
  
  Regardless, perfectly integrated, not a molecule out of place. Rich and smooth. My kind of CDP.

  RT. Decanted 2hours (needs at least 2 hours currently). Dark red/vaguest hint of brick. Blackberry and plum on pleasing nose. Medium weight with balanced tannins and great integration from attack to long finish. Black fruit, pepper, cherry, earth and herb on the palate. Great with grilled lamb chops. a "light" CdP. Well liked by guests.
