Tasting great, very pretty balance of red fruits & earthy notes. Menthol & licorice. Nice acidity too.

This one from the cellar still packed a punch. Plenty of ripe, dark fruit, cassis on the palette. Changed in the glass after an hour. Alcohol much more prevalent and fruit faded. Still some life left but drink quickly

Been saving this one for a good occasion. The first aroma is of fresh chopped fire wood, pencil shavings, and brick. The first taste was quite different. The texture is light fluffy and delicate. The first taste is tart and berry like with a leathery finish. Only complaint is that is lacks a bit of complexity.

A bit thin and flat. Wide palate but not much body. Cool braille label though. A decent CdP but not a great one. A nice anniversary present from Rachel!
