An 09 I opened and then vacuum pumped and left for 2 weeks (out of town). It just got better!. Dark and big but not too brawney. Raspberry as opposed to plum fruitv. Nice spice and a just a bit of sweetness — 11 years ago
Semi-sweet, light and refreshing, good table wine — 5 years ago
Well shit. Wildly expressive nose of tea, kirsch, saddle, fennel and sage. Started off too cold but with temperature increase opened up to a beautiful, elegant style CDP with cherry, blackberry, and all sorts of rustic garrigueness. A smoky, blue fruit finish. Tannins and acidity and alcohol all in perfect formation. Just awesome — 8 years ago
