Good dark cherry fruit, quite heavy as you would expect of a CndP. Rosemary, hedgerow. Long, fairly straightforward. Drinking now but will improve over the next decade.

A very nice wine, especially on day 2. Elegant nose, showing slight heat, grenache sweetness, a hint of smoke and leather, tertiary notes. Is probably at its peak, however no sign of fatiguee, probably 3-4 more years to go. Lots of sediment. Glad I have 2 more in my cellar. Bought for 30 € 9 years ago.

mix of red and blue fruit, herbal, violets; palate is quite smooth, tannins still present but softer, medium + length, very lovely

Grenache-dominated blend with 20% syrah. Drinking beautifully right now. The 2010 CdP vintage is ready to go. Don't hold them too long.
