Clear and amber rim turning to pretty garnet in the middle. Decanted 30+ minutes. Opening notes were vegetal, pruney, and kind of unpleasant. Took quite some time to open up, but worth the wait. After 2-3 hours, elegant pure red fruits emerged, with freshness, acidity, and a long and complementary mineral-laden finish. Near the end of life.

Very pretty wine with floral, violet and rosemary aromas. Big, juicy raspberry flavors with a hint of black pepper and red currants. Long in finish and moderately complex with gritting tannins abating. If you like your ChdP fresh, now is the time to drink this.

Ma note de 2017 était un peu légèrement enthousiaste.. Toujours aussi bon. Pas d'olive noire ici. Typé C9P, à même été callé par Jess.. Avec tartare de boeuf, super accord.

Bright raspberry fruit with herbal notes, blackberries, and anise. Firm but aging nicely. Fine tannins remain but I like it where it is now.

Drinking very well w/ good fruit. Funky notes of tar, garrigue, smoked meat, minerality. Paired well with food.
