One of my favorite CdP producers. I opened this alongside a buddy’s 2009 CSJ Deus Ex Machina and it was really intriguing to see the differences.

60 Grenache/20 Syrah/remainder a blend.

Quick bottle decant before diving in. While ready to go, an hour full-decant would probably be a good call at this stage, but not required. Where the Ex Machina was more high toned and layered (thanks to the blend), this was more up-front and plush. Violets and spiced berry compote aromatically. Dark berry fruit, sweet pipe tobacco and fig dominate the palate. Extremely concentrated (not extracted), with a savory graphite profile at the finish. Would have sworn Mourvèdre was heavy in this. Delicious. 93+ — 8 months ago

Flavors were fine albeit subdued and browning on the color. Time to drink the ones I had. Could have been prior storage issues with prior owner. — a month ago

This was a wonderful Cabernet Franc at a very reasonable price. Smooth without a bite. Flavor with a pleasant amount of lasting time on the tongue. Great for sharing. — 5 months ago
