Deep dark fruit on the open, with blackberry, cherry, and blueberry all present before transitioning to a velvety lingering finish of baking spice, creme de cassis, chocolate, and earth. This was a very big and very young wine. I felt like the nuances within the wine, while nice now, will require more cellaring to fully express themselves.

Pop and pour. Just a fabulous, balanced, precise CdP with fruit compote on the nose and a balanced, precise, evolving palate of raspberry cobbler, rhubarb pie, au jus, and blueberry compote all contained in a medium body with a very long finish. Just terrific now although the experts give it decades of evolution.

Enomatic sample. Young appealing black and blue fruit. Very young impression would almost have thought 2015. Sourish cherries with garrigues. Rich, dark with some earthy bitterness. Very fine but grippy tannin. Big, coarse and in need of a lot of time in the bottle. Would keep for 10-15 before trying it. Great potential if all comes together though!

Still good, but lacks depth and complexity compared to the 07 I drank some year ago. Classical C9DP, medium finish and round cherry and red berries taste.

Stunning wine with great complexity and a touch of earth. Still vibrant and young so no hurry here.
