Peet moss and earth on the nose carry on to the mid palate, evolving in crushed granite, currants and herbs. A true terroir focused wine with little manipulation done during the winemaking process.

I likes them dirty and this one be the dirtiest. Oh, and a photobomb from BJ!

Super funky even after 2 hour decant. Really needed air. Had some Northern Rhône Syrah dominance in it. Wildness to it. Really interesting and not typical CdP

Meaty nose. Sweet but pinch nose and you don’t get much sweetness. Strawberry, raspberry. Silky.

Complex, tart, juicy, stinky, and spicy. This will absolutely reek in about 5 years and I can’t wait!

Very typical C9P profile. Red fruits, herbs and garigues. Alcohol is well balanced. I don't think it will improve from here on.

I have one each of the 2010 and 2011 vintage. And, I will say that the 2011 vs 2010 comparison in CDP seems to be rather similar to Napa 2011 vs 2012/2010 when it comes to style. There is something very charming about these '11 CDP wines from well known producers. Where is the 2010 are extremely dark, punchy, full throttle, these 2011's are definitely lighter. Nose of iodine, plum, black cherry. Entry is sweet, dark figs for a second, and then turns into a lighter black cherry and cigar, hint of iodine, hint of bacon fat. Middle is plum, cola, earth. Finishes with quite a bit of acidity. Black pepper, plum, oregano, basil. Really intriguing wine. Wish I had more!! IMO this is a hold or drink wine. I actually do still expect this one to improve quite a bit in the bottle.
