Lots of ripe fruit in the nose and palate. Flavors resolve into fig. Long finish. This wine was stored at 70F for three years and is fully ready to drink. Maybe a little past prime. But this was big and delicious.

Pretty mediocre, esp for a CDP. Color: nice ruby, transparent even without much light. Nose: pastis, plum, red raspberry. Mouthfeel: light, airy, transparent. Attack: good red fruit on the front, puckering red raspberries, nice tartiness, red currant. Midpalate: grapefruit. Finish: the black licorice returns on the finish, nice solid tannins that outlive the rest of the flavors.

Pinot noir like color in a delicious modern style. Cherry liquour with fresh fruits. In mouth is elegant and delicious.
