Pure red berries with good intensity. Cracked pepper nuance throughout the nose and palate. Generous but well balanced between fruit & structure.

Popped and poured this youngster and was most pleased at how open and accessible it was.

Forward nose. Classic example of CDP. Maybe lacks a second dimension that would make this great but a good "entry level" CDP

Funky dark black fruit. Brettyness is fun but the finish is a lil disjointed.

Amazingly open young CDP. Garrigue, cherry cola, spice and earth. Quite lovely!

Lovely nose of fresh berries and herbs. Ripe in style, rather alcoholic. Plum cordial, pepper, & spices on the palate, long tannic finish. Drink with a decant or hold.
