Medium Ruby with maturing aromas of black and red fruits with cedar, floral and pepper spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and cedar with smoke and tobacco notes. Generous acidity on fine soft tannins with a long finish ending with fruit and pepper spice. Drinking well now!

So this was good to go with a decant. Had half the bottle then had to leave town...returned 5 days later and this was amazing! Smooth lush seamless. Sometimes oxygen is your friend.

Heavy on ripe red fruit, less so on the smoke and bacon. Peppery. Called it CdP blind

Seductive nose with a clear peppery tingle. Good dark syrah fruits with some licorice. Pretty acidity keeps it lively and characterizes the northern part in this Rhône. The wine finishes pretty long and shows minerality. A treat and ‘only’ 12 years old.
