  Nice Kirsch character, but a bit too sweet to get a higher score

  See my previous note: time does not help the wine.

  Tasted at Arroyo Vino CNP tasting on 8/5/17: This was my favorite, although the '13 Roger Sabon Prestige was preferred by others at my table. Garnet. Predominately raspberry nose. None of the pepper that I found in the '14 Caillou CdR, Cuvee Unique. Lovely structure. Firm tannins that melt away in the mouth. Elegant. $69. 95% Grenache and 5% Mouvedre (and others).

  No notes. Was reasonable, but lighter bodied and slight chalkiness in the texture. Wasn't even close to thinking this was akin to Rayas' wines....as suggested by the sommelier. We had a nice meal with friends and that was the important part.

  A good if light bodied CdP. Had this at a tasting room in CdP and it was pitched as a lighter bodied wine - this bottle was in line. Floral notes some minerals and decent acidity.
