September 8, 2017 - Opened by Mark. Brickish red purple color. Some spice with berry and earthy red fruit. Old world style. Moderate tannins. Starting to show it's age. 89 points
November 4, 2015 - Good C du P nose, but somewhat austere. Wouldn't hold much longer.
August 2, 2014 - Regular dinner group (@ JvT): Beautiful bouquet with a lot of sweetness and some pleasant barnyard. On the palate also very ripe and lush with red and black berry fruits and leather. Good acidity and round and soft tannin. Fully mature now and the next few years.
January 5, 2012 - Bit thinner on the palate than i would have anticipated.
September 24, 2009 - Again a very nice classic CDP. The kind of nose your looking for on an aged CDP. Rings all the bells nice body, good depth of sweet fruit. Nice finish.Very good.
May 27, 2009 - No. Harsh, bad bitter notes (and I like bitter) and overall unpleasant. Interesting funky nose, but just horrid on the palate. Calling this flawed in deference to the more positive notes here.
May 17, 2009 - Very fragrant Classic CDP nose which is it's best quality. The acidity and tannins have pretty much melted away.Has good concentration of fruit. Nice mouthfeel. Some bitterness which is it's biggest distraction for me but overall a very nice inexpensive, aged CDP.
October 26, 2008 - Color: Light Ruby
Nose: Very fragrant with notes of baking spice, earth tones, flowers, raspberry, dark cherry and smoke
Taste: Delicate and balanced; tart red fruit with a hint of pepper on the mid palate; bright acidity; integrated and seductive; a mature CdP and in a nice place right now
January 19, 2008 - No notes taken. Popped and poured. This proved to be a very nice, understated CdP for sipping prior to dinner. Has great balance. Mild flavors of dark fruit, dried herbs and mineral coat the palate. Nice finish. If this bottle is representative I would drink up.
September 11, 2007 - beautifully balanced wine. has got that garrique and kirsch along with a lovely mouth feel. drinking rather well...
