If you are drinking now, I suggest a big decant. I uncorked a coravin bottle (drank a glass each day) after 2 days. Result was similar to what a great sommelier did for a tasting at Park 90, I'm not sure how long she decanted. Basically I think there is some oak here and I really enjoyed the wine after giving it some time. Elegant high tone red fruit notes that grow on the mid palate and finishes quite long. Beautiful balance and class. But not a typical style for cc. I like it a lot, oak and all. Does not dry out or obscure the fruit.

Same notes as on the Riserva. Perhaps a bit more complex and deep but on the other hand it got a bit too heavy for my taste, hence the same score. Would also drink in 3-5 years.

Not as complex as earlier vintages. Allowed to breathe at least one hour.

Very elegant, great personality. Dry, stony, showing herbs, red berries, vertical structure.
