Oops. This is one of those rare instances that I didn’t realize what I was opening and what I paid for it. This is not your average Monday night wine. As I was drinking it (semi blind) I was thinking this was darn good. One of the best CDP I’ve had in quite a while. Sexy and stunning without flaws. I wish I had more of this!

2007 - a touch to dried prunes or raisons for me. To get super excited.

Excellent mixed fruit bouquet with a touch of syrup. Raspberries and blueberries. Backed by great structure and maturity. Well controlled fruit bomb. Crowd pleaser on Mother's Day.

Beautiful fruit revealing itself layer after layer. I wish I had more bottles to cellar because I am sure this wine will be explosive ten years down the road
