  Cellared at 52F from release.
  
  Massive wine, profound, dense and slow to reveal itself. Subtle power. Inky black and blue core. Beguiling, unmistakable, Southern Rhone warmth & softness in the nose with blackberry, thyme, & underbrush. Massive grip, deftly balanced against powerful blackberry fruit & proper acidity.
  
  Could easily pass for normal cuvee of CdP in a blind. Recommend 1 hour decant, minimum. Remarkable value for the price. This will -easily- age another 10 years in proper cellar.

  Blown away by this as it was stored in pretty iffy conditions for years (a relative's closet). Salted plums with some ocean air minerality. This is still going strong!
