Herbal, minty character. Medium bodied, good structure, red fruits. Well integrated tannin. Tasting good now. Nice mature red color. Can still age.

Well shit. Wildly expressive nose of tea, kirsch, saddle, fennel and sage. Started off too cold but with temperature increase opened up to a beautiful, elegant style CDP with cherry, blackberry, and all sorts of rustic garrigueness. A smoky, blue fruit finish. Tannins and acidity and alcohol all in perfect formation. Just awesome

1998 vintage. Perfumed on the nose, some violets or red flowers. Cherries, red currants and blackberries, integrated tannins, so velvety. As it opened up, some slightly dried herbs and smoky notes on the finish. Drink now.

Light and elegant as CDPs go. Expressive nose with dried fruit, herbal and floral aromatics with a touch of heat. Red cherry kirsch, garrigue, dried roses, sandalwood, smoke on the palate.

18- 1998 Reflets. Smoky nose, more N Rhone than CNdP - hi proportion Syrah/Mourvèdre? Good clear somewhat garnet robe. Robust but refined on palate, M length, but so complex and rich!
