  This seems like a typical O7 CdP to me. Dark ruby color, medium opacity (not clear, not opaque). It has a very rich sweet kirsch liqueur nose. Some forest floor, though the fruit is the dominant smell. A bit hot on the nose, and also somewhat stony. Black licorice, sweet fruit, medium body, pleasing long finish with no bite. Tannins are fine and sweet.
  Overall a very nice wine. Drink now or within a few years I think. It might be interesting to save one for another 10 years.

  Full-bodied, and flavors of dark fruits, kirsch, smoked meat, and pepper. Classic CDP. Went great with bbq.

  Delicious. I wanted a C-d-P to go with a veggie pasta dish my wife made. I wanted flavor, fruit, mild tannins, medium alcohol, and this wine hit all of those. Really good wine

  Predominant Grenache character. Oxidative red fruits - lots of raspberry. Licorice, garrigue and black tea. Lacks some richness and concentration for my liking, but the acidity is well in balance. Would prefer a tad more intensity in the finish. Time to drink up any remaining bottles.
