February 27, 2024 - Nice modern styled CDP. Drinking very well. Was a Garagiste mystery wine, something I wouldn’t have purchased, hence the mystery. But it got better with age, enjoyed with dinner.

October 29, 2022 - Nice development over the last five years. Starting to hit stride at 10 years. Structure and lingering oak is noticeable, but provides foundation for bigger things to come. Licorice, red berries, cherries, plums, herbs, black tea, and chewy mulch frame the aromatic and flavor profile. Big mouthfeel with grippy tannins set up a long finish.

August 12, 2021 - this 1st night this was very average but second night picked up weight and complexity. 2012 not the strongest vintage in my opinion.

January 24, 2021 - Not a good representation of CdP. Not polished and quite sappy and extracted.
