  Gereiftes Rubin. Sehr weit entwickelte Nase, nicht oxidativ, jedoch warm und verkocht anmutend. Im Gaumen reichhaltig, süss, viel Frucht, viel Wärme, das hat wenig Eleganz, viel Alkohol. Brandig im Abgang, langer, kompottiger Nachhall. Nicht schlecht, aber weit weg von gross.

  Excellent CdP.
  Decanted and aired for 2+ hours. Kept the nose and the taste for the entire consumption over 1 1/2 hours. Powerful nose, taste lasted for over 90 seconds.
  All the Cdp traits are there, simply a wonderful wine.

  Decanted from magnum and kept decanter standing on ice to serve a bit cooler than I usually would for a red. Big wine for sure but I did not get any heat or overripeness. At the same time while the nose was fairy aromatic with plenty of dark fruit, smoked and earthy notes, the palate was very smooth with plenty of licquorice but in my eyes not particularly aromatic or deep. Perhaps the trade off when serving a bit cooler. Any way, a very well made C9dP in the vintage context but not a truly great wine in my eyes.

  Very dense, balanced and silky wine , madeira port wine, dried plums, smoky bacon, dried sweet red fruits - long finish - with 15% too heavy for my liking - lacks therefore a bit elegance - however a special wine which improved over the 2nd in the btl! Next one in 5 yrs+
