January 20, 2024 - Give this an hour of air then enjoy a beautiful mature CdP. Rich and well integrated flavors combine for a delightful bottle. Drink or hold

June 4, 2023 - Really suave and tasty. Frankly, there is plenty in the tank and while sensible to drink now, I can see the wine going another 3-5 years. The nose is a bit sour, but the flavors…. Yum! Deep sappy plums and a touch of bramble . Should pair well with the shish ka bobs for dinner.

November 11, 2021 - Not much CdP typicity or nuance in this wine. A little bit of acidity peeks through the dense dak brooding fruit, but otherwise this is pretty one-dimensional. Not quite as grotesque as some of the other “modern-styled” wines from the region in this vintage but not my preferred style.

January 16, 2021 - Definitely on the 2ndary side of things. Salinity dominates. Olive earthy and soy. There is fruit. Kirsch liqueur type fruitiness, darker fruits. Nice tannins. This felt like it was in an interesting spot tonight. Did not love it - liked it - and it was enjoyable to drink.
