Lovely wine in essense. Decanted twice but didn’t quite come alive. Maybe over the hill just a bit. — 10 months ago
Over three years since I opened up the first bottle. Still young-ish but much easier to drink after a quick decant of half an hour. All the typical scents and taste of C9DP. Very balanced. Clearly from a warm climate but retaining ample freshness. Like it a lot. Hope I can keep my hands off it in the coming years to check in on the remaining bottles every couple of years — 3 months ago

Dried cherry and raspberry fruit, with bay leaf, earth and licorice. — 3 months ago
Beautiful northern Rhône. Crazy aromatics. So pretty, dark sour cherries, pepper, some pleasant herbal greenness, a little stemmy. So many lovely layers. I need to put a 2022 away for probably 7-8 years to really hear it sing. — 5 months ago
Redfruits, nice acid lifts this, fully mature and is super clean compared to the gamey/leathery/slightly funky 1999 Pegau CdP, but lacks the depth or flavor interest or sheer complexity of the Pegau!! — 6 months ago
acidic gamay with hella fruit flavors strong notes of cherry supported by some raspberry and a bit of tannins that paired well with a triple crème, alpine and berthaut epoisses cheeses — 2 months ago
Good length, a bit bordeaux like. $35, 2015 vintage  — 2 months ago
Slightly cloudy garnet ruby core . Some herbal and slightly funky undergrowth , dried red fruits, dried mushroom , tobacco and dried spices, touch medicinal also. On the palate still some fruit , dried red cherry, those sous bois notes , rose and spice , liquorice . Balanced acidity, noticeable slightly angular tannin. Ok length with just a touch of warmth , slightly smoky finish . This is mature and should be drunk as I don’t see it improving. Drink Now and next 5 years . — 3 months ago
