PHMG WAG: Cellar Overflow (Down Stream at the Lyon's): 2+ hour double decant. Talk about great QPR, $33 in 2012! Garnet bowl and a clear rim. Medium bodied and super smooth, this had Kirsch, spice, garrigue, and leather notes. Tannins resolved. Put it on you're "to-do" list if you own any! From > 10 years ago:
4/3/2012 rated 91 points: Purple with ruby rim, this wine still seems a bit primary/grapey. New World style with black fruit, Kirsch, and a bit of spice. Nice mouthfeel and length. Wait a year and see if it can develop some more classic CdP notes. (3068 views)

Probably a bit over the hump. Not the most elegant CdP I had in my life (fruit a little too cooked and also a bit too hot) but was enyobable nevertheless with a group of 4. Drink up if you have any.

Drukket samtidig med en flaske av 2000-årgangen. God kork. Mursteinsrød. Lukt dominert av kirsebær. Smaksrik, mørke bær. En god vin.

Medium bodied, elegant, fresh, bright wine with sweet, fresh, juicy, red cherries, thyme, garrigue and floral notes that is already showing nicely.
