January 16, 2023 - Deep ruby/garnet in appearance. Pronounced aromas of ripe fruit, black currant, dried fruit, caramel, mushroom.
On the palate, dried fruit, leather, licorice, blackberry, black cherry, caramel, and tobacco. The body is still full, medium tannins, medium + acidity, high alcohol, pronounced flavor intensity, and a very long finish. Outstanding. -

December 24, 2020 - Strong smell of black flint stone, M E A T and licorice predominantly,
surprisingly different from most other C9dP ever tried, not this full bodied showing even when labeled with 14,5% ABV, no, quiet fresh and mineral appearance, not exactly limy but somehow stony, the fruit delicate and fresh, some tar, meat and tobacco in the background,
decent length, on top now! Will open another bottle to compare soon, ***-****, around 91, 92(+) -

March 17, 2018 - Very nice nose of cerises du Nord, very feminine and delicate, framboise, oriental spices... Sappy tannin, high acidity, tannin present, but adding a refreshing feeling, great finesse... Rayas style!!
