Birthyear CdP. Celebrating 30 in style and with a wine that is peaking out. The tannin is nearly resolved and the acid is still refreshing. The fruit will be the first thing to fade in this vintage. Lots of cherry and earth. Almost a candied, Halls cough drop sort of vibe. Amazing texture and very easy to drink. Fair amount of sediment in the bottle. Glad we got to this in time.

C’est la fin du mois d’août et il fait chaud. Deux jours plus tard c’est la liesse. Les cloches sonnent à toute volée.

1985 is live, and fresh! Deep red fruits with a little cherry, smokiness, red pepper, and Christmas spices! Fantastic!

Cloudy, raspberry with orange tinge color. Aromas of underripe raspberry, plum, forest floor and mushroom. Bright red fruit, holy smokes! Still holding up strong!

Funk on the nose. Baked fruit, silky mouthfeel. Tannins gone. Not bad for 27 years old. From Wine Merch’s Old Wine class 3.13.21.

For a CdP it is very fruit forward, not as cool or mineral
