Wow. This does not taste like CdP. Seems like very heavy proportion of Syrah and has a dark inky color as well as black pepper and olive notes. There is some fruit here, very dark and chocolate like.
I would have guessed it was a crozes hermitage wine.
Overall enjoyable despite the head fake — a month ago
2015 base year—been holding onto this one for a while. Showed very nice and with lots of life still left in the tank (wish I had another). — a month ago
