Surprised at how much we enjoyed this given how our tastes have moved somewhat away from CdP. At a great point in its evolution - the oak that some previous reviewers note has largely receded and the dark fruit comes through. But well balanced with good acid and some nice herbs. Surprisingly good pairing with chicken enchiladas with a tomatillo sauce - the herb notes pick up something in the tomatillo. Nice wine.
