Drank 12/9/19. Nice with porchetta spiced pork chops

Nose of red currants and underbrush. Similar palate. Well balanced, but slightly muted. Medium to firm tannins. Long finish. I was expecting a bit more from a CDP, but nice nonetheless.

3/21/7/4/4 +50 =89 pts.

2013: quite rubbery, burnt. Dark liquorice, herbal, black olive. Pinotage-esque, with charred notes, rubber, ash. Not for me. Perhaps needs a few years (the 2009 is currently tasting awesome)

That barnyard floor note lingers both on the nose and palate... it’s a bit much.

Not the most complex CDP, but always a pleasure to drink.

La couleur est d'un rouge cuivré, les arômes de framboises dominent. Ce vin est très raffiné malgré sa lourdeur alcoolique.
