Christmas dinner with two ducks! Pulled & poured. Exactly where a fabulous CdP should be after 30+ years. A wonderful way to celebrate the holiday and a grand meal. Sadly, my last bottle. Great color, no sign of oxidation, lots of body. Just fabulous.

P&P was very reduced , 45 min later color was ruby red with mild bricking, reductive nose gone and very floral. At first lilac, violet. and herbaceous nose, later became more fruity, black plums and dark cherries; @ 3hrs+ nose was going back to herbaceous sage brush notes while the flavor continued to be deep black fruits, with just a hint of pepper; long finish, full bodied at 3 hrs and showing signs of getting better! but the bottle was empty.......

Tasted at Singer & Foy survey of new Rones. Light medium ruby color. Nose has forward, spicy, peppery but slightly thin fruit in the nose. Palette is very nice though: big, bold, Rich, dance, and flavorful. 4-9-16-7: 86/100.

Sadly this was corked--or scalped as someone at the table put it. But underneath there was the hint of lovely structure. On to my last bottle!
