Firm, mineral, and interesting CNDP. Nose is melange of blueberry compote, mulberry, wild raspberry compote, underbrush, dried roses, potpourri, spice cake, thyme, tar, baked earth and gravel. Palate is savory, herbal, and mineral driven. Matches nose. Wild black berries, cooked plum, blue tones, menthol, thyme, sage, hot stones. Seems to have a very Gigondas personality to it or maybe just in my head?

This was super Bretty when I opened it, but the palate was beautifully elegant.

I'm a big fan of 2013 CdP, and this delivers. Chateauneuf that's ripe, with acid, structure, and freshness.

Dope as fuck. I want a roasted duck. (Update)Cleaning up my language from before this needs 5 years at least an if you open it now decant. In any case this night still showed what this is, super fragrant from a foot away..violets and chopped fruit. Mouthfeel is solid, the back part tells you there is so much more going to happen down the road but still satisfying now. Still want duck
