Lovely on the nose, needs way more air than expected at this age. Deep colour, raspberry, the tar is there but only after a few hours, drinking very well today.

nice on night one with '08 typicity (acidity in the front, some decent fruit but the body was med and the fruit red (typical for CM) but redder than usual... night two it was still good, tasted a whole lotta salt in it to be honest... if that hadn't been there I would have said it improved (92?) but the salt dominated

Really nice for a village wine. Dark cherry, red cherry, dirt, mineral. Bigger than I expected but not out of balance to any extreme. Drinking a bit early for sure. Another five or so and this should be better balanced with more nuance - bright future IMHO.

Tart, not the most complex. Kind of generic. Ugh.
