Keeps getting better. Stewed sweet red fruit, crazy cigar box, black tea leaves, underbrush, black olive, leather, cedar, and potpourri. Savory and herby notes. Super luxurious, dusty and silky with the acid bite that you'd expect to have. I'm blown away. It could be even better in a year or two if the austerity subsides.

Pnp. Deep ruby color, no bricking on the edges in the glass. Blackberry, black cherry and cigar box on the nose. Blackberry, cherry and dusty earthiness on the palate with a nice long finish. CdN never disappoints. I haven’t had a CdN 2012, but it was fantastic. Glad I have a few more.

Aired for 3 hours before dinner. Sediment. Nose: Beautiful 8/10. Cherries, violets. Palate: 8/10. Medium-full body. Smooth, polished, elegant. Soft enveloping tannin. Wet stone undertone. Great acidity. Finish: 8/10. Price: 7/10 ($131 in 2023). Enjoyment: 8/10. Would buy again: Try other vintages.
