Has it all. Nose to finish...From dried cherry to lavender and violet throughout each sip. Just kept on improving through the bottle. Would open at least one hour prior...No decanting....happy to have visited the winery several years ago...still have one of these gems remaining...If you go, buy the CdP white as well!

Bell's French Tasting (Bell's Wine Shop, Washington DC): My wine of the tasting. Wonderful fragrance. An elegant, smooth chateauneuf with great balance and a nice finish of dark berry. This may need a few more years to hit peak.
