Highly enjoyable with complex but well balanced mix of ripe booze soaked fruits, garrigue, smoked meat, spice and oak. Lots of pepper, presumably from the syrah. Nose and palate were consistent. Textbook high quality CdP and loved every drop.

Bright cranberry and cherry fruit on the palate. Nice earthy notes, with tar, but never overpowering or off-putting. A bit of cola as well. Nose was similar to palate along with rose petals. Definitely in a good drinking phase and was still fresh enough to indicate further aging is possible.
