Monster nose. Angelic, full and round. Camphor, iron notes and charred bloody rib roast. Deep, dark cherry. Excellent.

Blind Rhône’s from Saturday. Many of us thought this was a domestic creation, perhaps Paso Robles. It reminded me of an overdone Linne Calodo rising tides. High alcohol with accompanying heat, disjointed and disappointing.

Big bold and beautiful, showing great development. Surprises abound from overshadowed vintages.

Wow, last bottle this is just a great example of CdP. No need to hurry if this is in your cellar. Big cherry nose dark color wonderful entry and finish. Why I love CdP.

Insane nose, smelled of underripe fruits (not in an unpleasant way) and rhubarb and strawberry.. Good amounts of color. Had lots of life left (tons of acidity and fruit) and was probably opened five years early. Thought this wine had the most forward looking promise of them all tonight.
