  Sadly, my final btl of this half case which has brought so much pleasure, was corked. Behind the cork taint it is clear this would be fresher than my last btl, sigh.

  Pop and pour. These 02 CdPs have been kind to me, so it's hard to be mad that this bottle shows pure BBQ sauce and slightly maderized. Drinkable, but just...this btl shows over the hill on the nose. On the palate: dark black raspberry and some prune with bitterness. Eh.

  Best bottle so far. On the nose, sweet strawberry, raspberry compote, incense, a touch of dried fruit. On the palate, soft acid, raspberry compote. Tannin completely attenuated on the finish.
  
  Day 2: Not oxidized, still very good!

  My best bottle so far. Completely pure, and totally mature CdP. Lovely grenache fruit with red raspberry, incense leaning toward rosewater, and some secondary leather notes..lovely and delicate on the palate. Good acidity, a fair amount of heat, and very soft tannin. Flavors mirror the nose, with building white pepper as the finish apporaches.

  Thankfully, and unlike the bottle I opened yesterday, this was not corked/cooked. Very nice, perfectly mature CdP, with a very grenache sweet raspberry and incense nose, soft acidity, but good density on the palate, and a fully mature finish.
