  AN hour in decanter was not nearly enough. The last glass after another two and a half hours was terrific. If you don’t have the time to properly decant this for at least two hours, find a different wine.

  Still going strong at 15 years of age. Black raspberry, cola, garrigue and a saline note. Good inner mouth perfume on a red-fruited frame with some clove and exotic spice flavours. Racy intensity across the mid-palate with excellent length on the spicy finish. Excellent, but would recommend drinking now to capture this wine at its best.

  Elegant wine but I don’t like this flavor profile much anymore. Can last 5-10 yrs

  Delicious CdP, though not quite as complex with the Syrah/Mourvedre notes as other top-notch CdPs. However, after 90 minutes of decanting, the nose and palate blossomed into dark berry and cherry cola notes without being syrupy or cloying. Really round mouthfeel and weight, integrated tannins, excellent finish. If you like dark cherry compote, cola, subtle earth and minerality, this is your wine!
