Showing so well for a 12 yr old CdP. Round supple mid palate. Loads of licorice. Yum. These suckers can age! Well done Lancon family. +florentlancon

2004 vintage. Very tight nose with hints of herbs and flowers. Intense, deep and full bodied with wild berries and beautiful finish

Decanted for six hours. This is fabulous. Highly extracted but very well balanced. A great wine from the great 2001 vintage .

Decanted for an hour at home before reopening at Mon Ami Gabi, Chicago. This is very rich and full bodied. Huge fruit and floral nose. If you like this style, you might rate it 100. It is so big that you wouldn't want to drink it all night. To me, I can never get enough of a truly great wine, so I would have to call this nearly great.

2018 vintage. Chock full o' rich, plummy goodness. Heavy bodd. A sumptuous, savory treat. Some choco/fudginess loitering about and pushing in broad daylight. Now or in twenty with a guarantee of deliciousness throughout. 3.15.23.

2006 tasting great. So smooth with complex red fruit flavors and wet stone.
