Drinking very well at 12 years, which follows the trend in CT scores . I i get lovely fruit (strawberry) and floral elements on nose with very soft tannins and mid level acid. Might score a little higher if not for a slight bite on long finish (16% OH). Amazed the alcohol doesn't jump out more

This is a classy and powerful CDP. Very enjoyable.
Chocolate, smoky bacon, dates, Dried strawberries, floral, powerful round palate . Aged Grenache hasn’t that juicy sweetness anymore, but more layers ... this 9 years old is drinking very well now . <3 <3

This is a really nice drinking Chateauneuf du pape. Arguably lacks some complexity in the nose and after taste, but its not a bad drink at all. Solid showing, would recommend
From Coravin. Starting to show signs of aging but probably has another 5 years easy

Definitely improved from 5 years ago. Lots of ripe fruit with interesting spice. Still some astringency but it is softer with age.
