Found these from a private collector and picked up 3 on the cheap. Still drinking well! Cool to have in the collection, and still going strong with smooth, rich fruit and a nice finish. Recommended if you can find it!

Definitely showing some oxidation, more so on the nose than the palate. Still, there's enough of that concentrated dark fruit and chewy tannin structure left to suggest what it might have been in its prime.

A nice california version of CNP, nice fruit, structure and balance. We liked this more than the Murray Esperance of the same vintage; both paled in comparison to the real things: 1999 Senechaux cnp and 1999 Coudoulet de Beaucastel.
