Third 90 Ponsot bottle served blind. This is bright tawny and translucent. When compared to the CSD served before it, this is more masculine with a dark cherry nose that is tight for the first 4-5 hours. By the time it’s served, though, it’s opened up and comes on as a rich and very powerful glass of juice. In addition to the regular notes of bing cherry, dark earth and rhubarb, this adds some mocha and a little cherry cola as well. Has a Rousseau-like precision in its delivery. From where it started to where it ended ~9 hours after opening, this evolved and improved the most. Great experience! (Bday 8 of 12) — 4 years ago

15 minutes, a bit sweet and concentrated aroma making me feel red fruits which is completely different from just opening. Much elegant compared with Bourgeois which was a bit juicy, I found now. A bit salty and spicy. Then found parsley like, should say mint flavor. Lots of complexity. Almost 1 hour, vintaged aroma or earthy, mushroom is coming. Cherry with sweetness. More than 1 hour, comfortable aroma. Acidity became a bit calm. 2 hours must be peak. Aroma was so fascinating! @1950, K-Ping - XH , 181101-181102 — 7 years ago

A little hot and disjointed at first, but a little air and bloomed very nicely. Some grass, red fruits, velvety texture. Very nice for a village — 10 years ago

2008. Tart red fruits, Gevrey funk, nice acid. Still quite youthful. — 10 years ago

Chez yes. In one hour that might be an open mouth, but right now it will have to settle for a lip to lip tag. — 11 years ago

A little sleepy at the outset but ascended late. Some game musk on the nose, Elegant and supple fruit with bright black cherry, wood pulp and limestone. — 7 years ago

2005. Powerful and brooding dark fruit. Starting to give a bit on the palate, but still early days. I think it needs another five years to really start singing. Showing great potential. — 10 years ago

Not rating at all but a placeholder as it was is a dis array - hopefully a bottle variation — 3 years ago

2006 a tricky vintage. Chalky, touch of rose pedals. Cherry notes, spice and herbs. Earthy. A fully mature wine. In my opinion beyond its prime. Drink up now! — 7 years ago

This may go down as red wine of the year for me. Which given the time of year and upcoming events is High Praise indeed. But none the less reality. Epic nose. The unmistakable smell of a slaughterhouse over summer. Meat and blood. A huge hit of licorice, leather, and smoke and cherries. The Finish lasted nearly a minute, and had a Mossy granite tone to it that reminded me of climbing in the gunks in the fog. Amazing. So fortunate to have been asked to share this with great friends. #poolwine — 7 years ago
