What’s notable about this bottle isn’t that it was stellar (it was) but that it was consumed having lunch at a restaurant (outdoors) with someone other than my immediate family for the first time in many months. Of course the experience was enhanced by the gorgeous apple, pear, and lemon curd flavors shot through with chamomile and candle wax. There’s always such a sumptuousness to CndP Blancs that I love.

Insane extraction and intensity without being overblown.

17.5 gold. Fruit, depth, length. Altogether satisfying, but missing a little excitement.

17.5 Great mouthfeel, lovely white fruit, long. Several years ahead. Remarkable.
