I had a bottle of this one a couple of months ago.....my remarks said it was very good and elevated from the bottle or two before. I also said I was going to drink up because I have had one or two CNdPs toll over and die very quickly in the past. This is what has happened. This bottle was awful. I tried another bottle the next night with the same result. I hope others out there that still have this wine in their inventory are having a better experience.

This has been a great wine all along, but this bottle is a little elevated from the last two. I am a little surprised since I have this one down as 2023 being the last year of the drink window. At any rate, I am going to be a drinker of the last few bottles I have because on two occasions I recall CNdP I have owned rolled over and died almost overnight......in contrast to Red Bordeaux and CA Sauvignon Blanc which usually decline slowly.

A nice, robust wine, but a little disappointing considering the age. I found the nose somewhat reticent, but nevertheless capable of showing black fruits, licorice and a little charcoal. The palate was full and broad, but not as pronounced as I expected—plums, blackberry, figs, raspberry with iron and black tea somewhere underneath it all. I don’t expect this to improve anymore.

This bottle was back to OK after a couple of bad bottles. Who knows why? The bottle was open for about one and an half hours.

Really enjoyable bottle and at a good spot. Don’t think it’s past peak yet but do not believe it will improve.
