quite big and bold for a CDP; lots of stuffing in this despite being 14 yrs old. more red than dark fruit but medium + bodied, long finish. had this at the end of a night but almost wish we had it with the steak at dinner rather than the night cap

Agree with others that 15% alcohol is not a problem. Very clean and well balanced CdP. Blue fruit, cocoa and baking spices. Entering drinking window but should age for quite a while.

Hard to believe this is 15% alcohol. Wonderfully integrated, smooth and balanced. Darker fruits with some licorice, spices, and earth. Tannins have mellowed quite a bit. Thoroughly delicious and goes down quick. Will last years but is in a good spot now.

Drinking well. Classic CdP notes. Wonderful balance. 2010 seems good to go.
