Had purchased this many years ago. Expected it be past its prime - so opened it at 5:00pm with some nice pre-dinner cheese on a Summer day in Vancouver - rather than as a main meal accompanyment. Very happy with it. Delicate but with fruit shining through. The 4 of us gulped it down quickly. (Drink Up)

Popped & poured. Deep cherry color. A bit tight on the nose initially, but opened up well. I get cherries & strawberries on the palate, with a touch of mint and some pepper on the back end. Well integrated. A steal at the price I found it.

A beautiful wine, pure CdP. Excellent substance, structure, and balance. Showing well now and there is no hurry.

Popped & poured. Really earthy nose. Cherry fruit but a bit disjointed. Tart finish.

Didn't like as much as the last bottle. A bit tart on the finish. Nose of cherries & some bell pepper. Earthy.
