Somewhat closed at first, but opened after several hours. Dark stone fruit, ripe but not intense. Had just enough tannin and good balance. Not a blockbuster but a good CNP in a tough year.

Nose: Tree bark, sarsaparilla, licorice on the nose... but quite faint. More prominent are notes of sour cherries. Palate: Sour cherries riding on loads of acid from start to finish. Very light mouthfeel with some drying tannins poking through, but mostly dominated by the acid. Hints of sarsaparilla on the short finish. This CdP is giving up the ghost...

Thin, sharp and unbalanced. Maybe faulty, but definitely not good. Gave up after few sips and found another wine.

Dark red with signs of age. Slightly sweet fruits and herbs on the nose. Nice balance in the wine. On its peak?

Harsh; black cherry, rich some licorice, unbalanced; too much heat.
