Darkest Clos Pepe I've had. Plum, brambleberry, savory, baking spice. Nose of blackberry. Just a touch of brett. Med plus finish. Very supple tannins and refined and certainly not faded. Alcohol very well integrated. Drank over 2 hours and leaving uncorked for 2 hours. No big rush here, drinking beautifully.

Drinking French With Todd French, P Robert and The Gang (Frenchie's House): My oldest CP from my cellar. Drank next to several grand cru burgs, which I am certain would make Wes Hagen proud! This showed the size of the vintage but you know, it held it all together. Big but no heat, juicy and dark with baking spice, blackberry and dark plum skin. What I liked was that it didn't get blowsy or out of balance. Drink now and enjoy.
