Not impressed this time--did it age out? tasted like it had been open for 4-5 days, a stale taste...loved the other bottles, was it just my palette off?

Medium bodied cdp. Well balanced with moderate red berry fruit with appealing earthy funk, medium acidity and medium tannins. Delicious with grilled steak and veggies.

Very nice CDP. Slightly pleasantly gamey or funky, subtle dark fruits, earthy notes, medium body with medium tannins making it an excellent companion with lamb, rabbit or game.

Looking for a red for the second courses, steak frites and chicken. First experience with this wine, was concerned it might be a little too young. PnP..
Medium ruby color, bright and opaque. Fragrant nose of red fruits, spice and stone. Palate of dark fruits, black raspberry, baking spice, pepper. Expressive wine through the mid palate. Medium finish, floral and spice notes on the back.
Really nice and drinking well now. Was light enough to be a good summer red to accompany flavorful meats...I usually wait until the Fall to dive into Rhone wines, but this one was really nice on this evening. Should do well in the bottle if wanting to cellar, but ready now.

A beautiful wine, with earthy depth, restrained dark mature fruit, and firm tannin backbone.
