Drank over 3 nights. Started off huge and inky black still with a lot of power and sweetness, dark fruit, herbs, tar, candied overtones fr the heat of the vintage and in the direction of an amarone or a big CA zin. Yet for all the big fruit and flavors coming at you, it was still all in balance and felt like a hot day in Provence in a glass. The wine mellowed out nicely over the next 2 days and was still holding together well as we finished it.

Wow. This is an intense and luscious CDP. A modern, extremely fruity, but well balanced wine. Incredible nose, lots of depth of flavor, smooth as a baby's bottom. Drinking especially well right now but has last at least 5 more years of great drinking if not longer. 95

Decent mouthfeel, body and length, some acidity but the heat of the vintage shows through in the somewhat pruny, slightly overcooked nature of the fruit in my view.

Very dark color. Red and black fruits, liquorice and chocolate. Beautiful round and I’m the best window right now.
