    March 6, 2023 - See previous notes. A little muted initially. Opened up in an hour. Medium ruby with garnet rims. Medium intensity on the nose. Lavender, garrigue and raspberries. Medium plus tannins and finish. Hold or decant.

    February 25, 2023 - Muted. Soft. Tannic. Acidic. Vaguely fragrant and some oak and spice. My ruling: Closed down. I’m not touching for another 6 years at least. It’s a crime to open it now. Looks like we missed our windows, chaps.

    February 25, 2023 - This bottle didn't taste like the other amazing ones of the same vintage. It wasn't bad, but didn't have the same long taste. It was just simple.

    February 19, 2023 - Same as the 3/21 review... not the big banger we remember. It has a reputation for being very overweight on the Morvedre, so it has never been the classic CDP. We much prefer the CA versions of GSM.
