Better than the last bottle. This has mellowed to a good place. PnP. Zalto Bordeaux glass. Still pretty dark red. Muted nose. Pretty tasty, but lacks a sense of place. Correct. Not worth $60 per. This has actually held up better than I thought it would. Still, time to drink up. Carries its 15% abv pretty well.

Drinking perfectly, the debut vintage for this winery pops with fresh, sweet, ripe, spicy kirsch, pepper, thyme and provencal herbs. Round, sweet, ripe and loaded with fresh, black raspberries, jam and a melange of cherries in the supple textured finish, this is good to go.

Pop N pull, very good initial nose with secondary bouquet developed. Thought it gonna be a great wine. First sip was very heavy, over extracted tannins, very bitter, fruits faded, jammy, some minerals, just can't get over the bitterness! Not much going on. Unimpressive, especially for the price, disappointed.

Popped and poured. The overt jamminess of the fruit here has faded a bit. Dark purply red in color. Muted nose of garrigue. Decent wine. Not great and not worth the money. There are many $30-40 bottles of CdP that are much better than this. This has a bit of a bitter note on the finish that detracts from the overall impression.

Popular with our dinner guests with lamb curry. Consistent with my previous notes.
