  Everything in balance and drinking extremely well as others have noted. I think there's room for even more improvement but hard to hold off now. Grade of A-today. Bottles stored properly upon release.

  Top ripened, grenache dominated complex wine with lovely licorice, tobacco and oak notes. Worth the price and the waiting time

  * Wine 1 of 4, CDP vertical tasting at al Coro. Opened and decanted 3-hours before dinner.
  
  A sleeper at this point, the 2012 Cuvee du Papet showed initial promise on the nose, with thyme, cherries and leather, but never really opened up, and felt mute throughout the evening. Structure was there, full bodied, round and opulent, some layers of dark fruit on the mid-palate, but never took off beyond that. Tasted from 2 different bottles and the result was consistent, so not an issue of bottle variation.
  
  I think the wine is good and will unlock at some point, but right now seems to me in hibernation.
  
  88 points on the night. Hold for 2-3 years and revisit.

  Nice flowery/perfume nose. Light - medium body. Not sure where it goes from here.
