  Drank last nite w/Blancos & Waldmans. Nose of black cherries, leather & tobacco. Medium body is somewhat round, and still demonstrates good level of black cherry fruit. Tannins are resolved, notes of leather, dried fruit, leather, earth/garigue and meat. Pleasing long finish highlights the tertiary elements of this wine. All in all, a CdP that is fully mature, and drinking quite well. No reason to hang on any futher however.

  Ripe and hot cherry fruit, plums, a touch jammy. Big rustic tannins too. Thought this Italian and maybe super Tuscan with Merlot of sorts. On hindsight this is rather classic of CDP, I just wish the heat is less overt here. Feels like it’s gonna need quite a bit more time lying down.

  At first a bit funky and even suspected a hint of TCA but thankfully this was not the case as it started to clear up nicely and tasted solid. It followed into a small surface decanter for 2 hrs and at that point it started to show beautiful balance between red and dark fruit, spice and Garigue. It ended up being a very clean bottle with elegance and nice mix of subtle flavors with some nice notes of leather and herbs on an old style (but not funky CNDP) which was very enjoyable. Side note Susan who is not a massive CNDP really enjoyed it .

  Surprisingly vibrant for the age. Some light bricking color. Mature tertiary notes on the nose, but not just port. Fruit almost fully faded. Enjoyed alongside a bottle of the 2019 which was overpowering. Nonetheless, this was lovely

  Vente des vins des Hospices de Beaune: 2e souper (Chez les Faure-Brac): Nez suave, floral, avec des notes de confiture de fraises. Bouche sur les cerises à noyaux, c’est savoureux, avec des arômes évolués, des herbes séchées. Excellent, mais à boire sans attendre. 93 pts
