Delicious, kept coming back to it as it needed about 45 mins to start showing well. PNP. Barely noticeable bricking and beautiful garnet in the glass. Aromatics - Subtle rose stew, baked cherry, red licorice, subtle mint, earth. Palate - beautiful structure with a balance of power and grace. Tart entry, plush mouth watering fruit on mid palate and long finish, tasting cherry, red fruits and a bit of licorice.

Stored in my cellar since purchase. PnP. Nose - Cedar, white pepper, macerated cherry, dried bay leaves, some mineral. Palate - Juicy, generous sweet red fruits but on a lean frame, lip smacking acidity, some licorice, subtle coffee. beckons to return to the glass again and again. Superbly balanced and precise. more pepper spice on the persistent, compelling finish.
Day 2 was equally enjoyable. Fully mature, although does not appear to be fading at all. This is in a perfect place right now. A victory for bottle aged CDP.
