Small bit of brett on opening but it fades away. Richly fruited with somewhat rustic flavors. Enough acidity to hold up the fruit but not really give it any drive. Mild, late tannin. Still very simple in expression. No rush to drink but it would be a wonder to see this improve a lot. Consistent over two nights.

Touch of brett evident immediately on the nose. Fairly fat fruit on the palate that seems to hide the acidity leaving this a bit round. A metallic note on the finish confirming the brett. Either just not real expressive or in a dumb phase. Considering what you can wander around and trip into from CdR not really even a value at $13 right now.

nothing spectacular, but solid smooth wines that I should have aged longer

Simple and well received. Hints of dark fruit and a little buttery. For the price a great entrance to CNDP

Yikes...totally uninspired and a bit insipid. Definitely should be drunk with food because there is no way to enjoy this wine on its own.
