Fascinating, after my recent run of so-so to DNPIM (do not put in mouth) CdPs from 25 or so years of age, here’s a “basic cuvée” of CdP (think $18-20 bottle on release) that is punching far above its weight, red fruits, very fine CdP that is drinking great now, long, lingering finish, and shows promise for another 3-5 years of aging!! — 7 hours ago
2006—aged exceptionally well. Still plenty of fruit. — 12 days ago
2020 vintage. From a 375ml. Some good funk in the nose immediately after opening but that mostly dissipated after 15 mins. Medium/medium heavy body. Plenty of the expected fruit-driven power cradled with equally noted tannins. Way too young, even in a half-bottle and dynamite now but another 12-15 years will be stellar. 12.12.25. — 6 days ago
