February 10, 2024 - This pours light garnet in the glass with light bricking. On pop and pour this is quite nice opening nicely over the course of a couple hours. Aromas are of dried red currant, dried red cherry, herbs de Provence, hay, undergrowth, and light whisps of peppered smoked meat and brine. The palate is lovely and red fruited, augmented by southern Rhone warmth. Tannin is medium and acid medium minus. The finish is a tad short but is enjoyable texturally.

February 1, 2024 - Unfortunately, this has gone past its best years. Still representative of older CdP with singed switches of Herbs de Provence and baked black cherry as well as grilling meat, this needs to be drunk soon. What a terrific bottle for so many years! 91

February 23, 2022 - This wine has been one of my all time faves ever since release. If memory serves, I purchased many bottles of this for less than $16 (I worked for the wholesaler)! This started off pretty stinky and fruitless after a short decant, but has developed nicely. The nose has a beautiful grilled black cherry and herbs de Provence character. The palate has lost size and fruit, but is hanging in there. There’s still that beautiful black cherry and Rosemary character but other nuances have been lost. Drink up! 90
