  Supple semi sweet cherry-raisin and some licorice; balanced and structured; long complex finish.

  One of the best CDP's I have ever had. A fabulous wine with freshness balanced by great intensity and a long finish. Classis garrigue of Grenache with the tannins well integrated and drinking beautifully at this time.

  Decanted. Earthy and animalistic with lots of dark fruit and minty methanol quality. Classically done, getting more voluminous and substantial with air. 94+

  Some oxidation, despite a cork that looked perfect. Tasted next to the 2004 Celestins. Drinkable on its own, but not side by side with the 2004.

  A lovely nose of dark cherry and garrigue. Then deep flavors of dark cherry and iodine with lifted acidity and floral freshness. Great intensity to this wine with a grippy complex finish with notes of violets, garrigue, smoky minerals and dark spices. Quite tight yet but this is a clean wine showing just a hint of the wild feral notes tha will come with further bottle age. A super Celestins in the making. 95+
