Bright red fruit, complex earthy tones to balance it out, long finish. Felt a little bit like a great Cru Beaujolais. Sitting on this for 5 years was a brilliant move. Definitely will buy more.

Pleasantly surprised. Very light, at first pour comes across as watery. Complexity picks up, with a little bit of baking spice on the finish. Sour cherries carry through out. Still picking up some weight 2 hours after opening. Still fige though.

I think we've all made the mistake of drinking this too soon. Just opened up my last bottle and it was great. Raspberry liqueur, earth and cedar undertones, some spice at the end, but a lengthy and sweet finish. Velvety on the tongue without crossing into port like viscous ness. I've drank CDP's that don't live up to this. Wish i had saved more
