Black/ruby without even a hint of amber. Subdued nose of very pure ripe raspberries, mineral dust, some floral tones. Wouldn't peg this as a CDP... Mouthfilling with moderately sweet fruit, very substantial tannins -- almost chewy -- and firm acidity. Not really my style. If you own it, can be drunk now or held for at least another five or ten years. Might improve a bit -- right now it completely lacks "secondary" aromas and nuances.

Enjoyed this 95 CDP...not great but really good. 10+ years has really developed the secondary flavors and provided signficant complexity for this wine.

Enjoyable, but thought it might give a bit more in terms of fruit. Hasn't faded much though and tannins still present.

Drinking very well right now. Nice gamy, pepper,and tobacco flavors through a good purple base. Still has many years left in it. Really enjoyed.
