August 26, 2023 - Had this again with friends, very popular at the table. Plush, farmyard funk, good freshness but a after a while in the glass some pruny notes. I think it is time to drink this up.

December 19, 2021 - Drank this next to a Vosne/Suchots with friends to show the difference between Grenache and Pinot. This wine was really popular. The nose is still discrete, not much giving away, ripe red fruit, a bit of rum pot. On the palate on the other hand the wine is very expressive. Burgundian in style, beautiful red fruit with sweet spices, gingerbread, sour cherry and kirsch. Really light and elegant for a CdP. I like this measured style with whole clusters much more than the heavy bruisers from the Parker period.

September 16, 2019 - Much like its little brother, though clearer red. Less smell of game, better diversity and more prominent fruit here. Good balanse, but needs proper meat and sauce. More complex, more balance, more of everything. Too much of smokehouse and butcher shop. For this price, I would not buy again.

October 23, 2017 - Mounir er en negociant fra burgund som i senere år har kjøpt og leid vinmarker i CdP. Denne herligheten kommer med druer fra 70 år gamle stokker og vinen lagres blant annet 5-6 måneder på bunnfall. Det er de tradisjonelle Grenache, Syrah og Mourvèdre-druene som teller her.
Dette er noe absolutt noe helt annet enn jeg noen gang har luktet av en CdP før. Dette er jo noe burgundersk?! Intens, tydelige nese med superfokuserte bær med deilige bringebær, kjølige kirsebær, en herlig mineralitet og et snev av kanel. Dette var et meget bra aromabilde altså!
På paletten er vinen stor og kraftig og forvandler det litt kjølige uttrykket til noe superdelikat og ganske så særpreget. Spicy med litt umodne plommer og perfekte bringebær preger vinen, og tanninene er faste og vinen har en bra balanserende syre. Ja. Det er fat her. Noen vil synes det er alt for mye. Jeg liker sånt, og synes det kler vinen. Følgelig vil det hjelpe når fatpreget blir noe mer integrert, men uansett er dette en flott vin allerede nå. En kan bare tenke seg hvordan dette blir i 15-årgangen. Milde måne…
Uansett 14`er en knakende god vin. www.botti.no1 person found this helpful Comment
