From a magnum. Might be the best CdP I have had. Gorgeous floral violet nose with candied cherry, tobacco, white pepper, licorice and a finish that goes forever. Completely resolved tannins, but nice acidity. Stunning wine. A $40 find on Winebid. Cork came out solid. No sediment. Poured into a magnum decanter and consumed. Stored properly, this wine likely has a few years left.

Still drinking very well! Bottle looked like it was brand new so I'm guessing it was well taken care of. Cork broke in half so I strained and decanted. Dark brick colored. Just a little bretty but that blew off quickly. Still a fair amount of fruit left. Smooth and very pleasant although after a couple hours there was a little bit of bitterness. Overall I loved it as an aged CdP.

Mucho vino at the 15th annual birthday jeebus. (Joe's.): Seems like a CDP for those that are normally CDP averse as it's rather lean with high acid levels. The red plum and red berries are quite tart and with air a strong iodine note took over. There's a resinous character along with some game, licorice and spice notes and it's a bit dry on the back end. Needs more flesh. B.

Found this in my cellar and decided to hav ewith prime rib. Clearly missed the time frame to drink it. Cork crumbled and wine didn't taste good.

Lean, good acids for its age. A bit of mushroom and earth. Very nice, especially at a $30 price point. (Though I got it a bit cheaper at auction.)
