  Loads of cherries and black pepper. A little thin in the palate. Pleasant enough, nothing special .

  Good but not great. Held its own after 8 years in the bottle. Solid nose with ton of cherries, brick, leather. Smooth and pleasant finish. Slightly flat and flabby.

  Keeping up very nicely, this is a solid CdP, fruit driven and nicely in balance. Nothing spectacular, but simply a pleasure to drink.

  Still very fruit forward and primary. Lots of bright red fruit on entry, with a little pepper and garrigue peeking through on the back end. Not sure how much more it will evolve. But based on the liveliness of the fruit, I would guess that this has at least 5 more years before it begins to head down hill.

  Very good, if not particularly notable CdP. Probably very Grenache heavy. Elegant and mid-weight red fruits - some bright, some deeper - some spice, garrigue. Very clean and pure. Very drinkable, that's for sure! 14% label abv and I believe that's about right, this is not a bruiser and not warm. This seems like it's treading water - no need to go our much further on this one.
