This has a sublime fruity funk and would pass as a top end aged CdP in any blind tasting. Not at all tired and should hold for a while.

This 2009 is drinking very well and will pair perfectly with our lamb chops.

Tastes great! Less body! Less body! Tastes great!
Nothing to complain about here. Cali-French collaboration. Hybrid vigor. Need to visit Paso soon...
