  Really nice on the nose but it wasn't until I aerated it with milk frother it really opened up, before that the taste was quite bland.

  Hard to rate. Spectacular after opening for 1 hour, but fell apart soon after. Not bad, but the complexities in the opening (95+) diminished. Will see what day 2 brings.

  Dull ruby. Bark and anise. Medium weight. Chewy and savory. Dark fruit and tobacco enlivened by a citrus twist and moderate remnant tannins. Old style rather than sweet, fruit forward Chateauneuf with plenty of time in hand. I really liked this.

  Full bodied, well integrated now. Packed full of cherry, plum, and black fruits, overlying fine tannins and acidity. Delicious!

  I've never been fond of this. Bought on release when I was still more widely, interested in CDP. Opened tonight with chili on a cold, snowy MN night hoping it may surprise to the good with an odd pairing. It didn't. You have to love high octane 15% alc reds to dig this. Not remotely flawed, just not for me. Dumped over half. I had decanted for a couple hours prior to dinner and chilled. Nothing helped. Not for me. Happy to free up the cellar space. That said, I still enjoy a few old school CDPs like; Pegau & Donjon. Not, this producer.
