Dec 26th, 2016Well 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

Sep 20th, 20171998 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.

Sep 15th, 201518- 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!
