November 17, 2016 - Dark, deep crimson in color, complex nose of garrigue, blackberry, black pepper, cassis and coriander with hints of vanilla bean and wood, big and ripe on the attack followed by spiced black and red fruit, gripping tannins, juicy acidity and mineral streaks, finish is long and also complex with layers of bright fruits such as plum, blackberry, black cherry and on and on, wow
Note: Just another outstanding 2005 CdP, still standby my rant about the overrated 2007s, sell your '07s and buy more of these1 person found this helpful 2,536 views
