Yess! Une petite bombe de fruits! — a year ago
Not a bad drop of Traditional CNDP here. Hot stone, meat, dust, garrigue, white pepper, melange of red and black fruit, spice. Raw tannin, lengthy, dtructured and built to last. Great example of WC and extended mas on Grenache. — 2 years ago
The nose is really superb, between bright notes of fruit (citrus fruits, apricot stones), barrel notes. Lively mouth, beautiful minerality, gunstone, notes of onion, poultry. Balanced, well-built body. Superb finish also, bringing together the tasting bouquet. Nice pleasure!
Le nez est vraiment superbe, entre notes vives de fruits (agrumes, noyaux d’abricot), notes de fût. Bouche vive, belle minéralité, pierre à fusil, des notes d’oignon, volaille. Corp équilibré, bien construit. Finale superbe également, réunissant le bouquet de dégustation. Beau plaisir! — 3 years ago

This was my rating 6 years ago. A perfect 10. Now, I’d say (and thanks Spinal Tap) an 11! Thanks Lenny for an awesome dinner:
The nose immediately established this CDP as royalty, and the palate followed accordingly. Silky smooth, big and round. Black fruit, Asian spice, black truffles. Pure as heck, layered with so much going on while your nostrils are sending your brain unseen before signals of red flowers, bacon frying and fairy dust. Should not have been better than the ‘01 but it was unanimous winner blind. — 4 months ago
Deep ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits and sweet spice, blend of Grenache and Syrah, aged in oak and stainless. On the palate flavors of raspberry, plum and cherry with floral spice, licorice and herb pepper. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, pepper and floral spice character. — 3 years ago

Forgot to take detailed notes, but this was nice. Not really any carbonic / natural / “new agey”notes, just a solid classically made gamay. Definitely has some structure, opened 4 hours before serving which was good. Didn’t sing on any one dimension of fruit / earth / acid / length / texture but was nice overall. — 2 months ago
