  September 4, 2016 - Does not hold up to other comparable vintages for this region. Somewhat thin.

  September 14, 2014 - Based on notes I wasn't expecting very much. This turned out to be great, though -- light-to-medium-weight CdP, with a lot of herbaceousness (not quite garriguey; way more mentholated) upon opening. This gave way to Jolly Rancher candy and some black olive notes, and all in all was a highly satisfying follow-up to the 2009 Marne Jaune we had with dinner.

  September 10, 2013 - Sorry, but disappointed. Not sure if this is already on the way down or if that is possible for a 2009. Did I store it poorly. Taste was all alcohol and raisins.

  April 29, 2013 - A lighter, thinner CDP. Not bad at all, but, this doesn't stand up to the 2010's.

  November 29, 2012 - Very approachable right now in my humble opinion. Lighter than most du-pape blends, but still flavorful. Pepper, black cherry, sage. Had in decanter for 30 min, served 65F.
