  Farbe helles ziegelrot; Nase mittelkräftig,würzig,; Mund harmonisch, rund, minimal Tannin. Schöner Wein, aber unspektakulär. Ich schließe mich der Beurteilung von Paul S vom 1.10.2014 an, nur sind 92 Punkte zuviel, daher: 90.

  Over lunch at Absinthe. A very enjoyable CdP, right in its peak drinking window. This had a beautiful nose, very fragrant, with lovely wafts of sweet red cherries, wild flowers and garrigue floating over a little meaty earthy undertone. This really smelt of Provence. The palate was a joy to drink. Beautifully soft and velvety, it showed plush cherry-ish flavours seasoned with a little spice, a little meat and a touch of mineral. There was a nice plumpness on attack that leaned out a little at finish, but it was always elegant balanced and proportioned. Decent finish too, maybe lacking a touch of length, but it ended charmingly with a little brush of bittersweet herb and garrigue. With time, even that filled out a bit, and nice drift of peppery spice emerged. Very enjoyable.

  Brickish red. Mushroom cloud of stewed cherries , strawberries and haw flakes with punch of red flowers and light garrigue. Very elegant expression of Cdp , almost burg like but retaining the succulence of Cdp.
