This 20 year old CdP shows its age. Not much fruit left except for tart raspberry, but there is still that savory earthy notes that are quite enjoyable.

Nov 25th, 2021Initial whiff of rubber went away rather quickly, but it wasn’t until the 2nd day that it showed properly. Dried fig, worn leather, barnyard, thyme, anise, with raspberry fading away on the background. A bit medicinal as well. Medium body with round and tart acidity. Lean. Tannins is completely resolved. And magically sweet strawberry emerge on the lingering finish.
I think this is on its descent, yet still immensely enjoyable.
