  It is simply ethereal. The blackberry and cassis are interwoven with cedar and earth. The complex finish doesn’t quit. I cannot imagine it could get any better.

  Nice - jammy, fruit forward almost syrah like. Great legs!

  Decanted. Great perfumed, kirsch C9dP. Aged nice. Great entry level wine from a great vintage.

  This wine is aging gracefully, much more some than some of the 2007 CDPs I've tasted recently. A tasty Grenache-heavy blend with sappy red fruits, kirsch, coupled with good supporting structure and a very nice finish. This is tasty now, especially after a few hours of air. Slightly better on day two, but nice on day one with time in the decanter or glass.

  Initially pleasant and fruity with a spicy finish, however, once it opened up this was very harsh and the finish was heavy on the alcohol. This is a very primary wine, hot and unbalanced, perhaps it will be better tomorrow?
  
  Wow, this was so much better the next day. Oak and alcohol faded into the background allowing fruit and minerality to show through. 88 on second day, definitely needs a fairly long decant.
