Delicious. Pretty garnet color; perfume of perfectly ripe dark cherries, blackberries, marzipan and creme de cassis, along with fresh rosemary and a touch of black pepper. Balanced, elegant style of CDP, intoxicating nose. Tannins have settled in. Singing right now — 6 years ago
Excellent, but a little bit heady for a CDP — 7 years ago
Wow. So this young fresh fruity CDP settled in nicely about 30 minutes I. And drank nicely over a couple of hours. At great value on the list. — 7 years ago
Lighter style of CdP. Fresh and perfectly ripened red fruit. Via Mag. — 8 years ago
One of the better 03 cdp wines. Smoked meat. Great acid. Still strong red fruit with a touch of spice. — 8 months ago
Nose of black tea, portobello, baked plum and soft, unctuous cherry. Kirsch-chocolate, blood orange, French roast, marigold, ferromagnesian elements. Coffee, baking chocolate, black cherry skin, cigar smoke, venison jerky, char, cassis, and vine charcoal.

Excellent cdp. Earthy, interesting, complex. — 6 years ago
Good cdp, this 2014 is a lighter cuvee, others commented it is burgundian in style and I agree.
Nice raspberry palate, minerality with harmonized garrigue, good tannins. Great complement to food, it's a better wine with food. The garrigue blew off day 2-3 which I miss. A PNP is OK with this wine. — 8 years ago
Yummy! Delicious CDP. Slight tannins, awesome texture. So easy to drink. — 8 years ago
Focus on the finish, inverse of CdP. — 8 months ago
A lovely tarry note initially amongst the red fruits. On the medium weight palate sweet and savoury red fruits. Love CdP from a good year like this one. 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Cinsault and the remaining 5% split between Muscardin, Counoise and Vaccarese. Completely destemmed and fruit driven. Soft pliant tannins. — a year ago
Unctuous with velvety tannins right off the get go! So rich but not cloyingly so… acidity for balance. Best CDP I’ve had in some time. 2014 paired with grilled rib steak. — 5 years ago
Pretty good CDP, but not as good as the arioso. — 6 years ago

Big Grenache fruit still, rich and ripe, has started to fade just a bit after 45 minutes open, really quite a fine 1990 CdP!! — 7 years ago
Brambles, garrigue. Lovely already. 2015 is a vintage to go deep on CdP. — 8 years ago
Quite sweet. Plum but hint of vanilla extract and the minerality of typical CDP is a bit more muted. Tannic and medium bodied. Can def age longer to smooth out the tannins. — 8 years ago

Rated highly (wherever 93 points). I found this wine OK but not oh boy that is the white CdP i need to store. It was easy drinking now. Almond blossoms and Jasmine…. — 8 months ago
