July 22, 2023 - Purchased on release, this particular bottle was fantastic.
Clear deep ruby with a garnet rim. Moderate sediment
Gushing kirsch fruit, totally resolved this was a isolate my singing. Worth a look -

January 14, 2022 - I don't understand where the low scores are coming from. I found this to be a really nice, food friendly aged bottle of CdP. Maybe I just don't know any better...ha ha.
Decanted for about 30 mins before drinking. Incredible "Rhone" nose. Deep and rich on the palate. -

December 29, 2017 - red fruit still apparent, some brett (very little), quite good, will keep.
