  June 8, 2022 - First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield): Served blind.
  Concentrated, a little earth, leather, Brett, aniseed, baked black fruits on the nose. In the mouth medium plus intensity acidity, a little mid palate scoop, plenty of drying tannic grip, a little plum, aniseed and a fair heft of alcohol warmth on the finish.
  I struggled with this one and ended up (because of the tannin and acid) sliding towards Italy, possibly Taurasi and about 2005

  January 9, 2017 - Popped and poured. Aroma of berry, spice, dishwater. Rich flavors of red fruit, olives. Tart cassis finish.
  
  Full, pure flavors, good backbone, some complexity. I have no basis for comparison, but I'm guessing this is a little past its prime. That said, still evinces everything that's good about CdR.

  March 16, 2014 - Very floral with hint of olives. Dark cherry with earthy notes. The palate, compared to the nose, was lacking clarity. Still a very enjoyable CdR.

  May 28, 2011 - This was quite closed and tannic, but some smoky dark fruits appeared with some air.

  May 24, 2011 - This finally opened up on the second day. Black olive, fat and herbs with dark ripe fruit on the palate and well integrated tannins. This needs a couple hour decant or perhaps a couple more years in the cellar.
