Shades of dull purple, a bit cloudy, and a bit copper tone on the rim. Nose of nice ripe black cherry, strawberry, aldehyde, vanilla, spice, smooth in the nasal cavity, and hint of oak note. Nose is good and mature. Taste follows the nose with addition of mature tannins, slightly sweet, and tasty. Aftertaste is medium and mellow. Peak time now. Enjoy her now. — 5 years ago

Творог, цветок лимона, латекс, лимонный курд, кумкват, желтый грейпфрут, бузина, базилик, фисташки, тонкая ваниль, багетная корочка, мел. Сочно и интенсивно, напористо, с туго натянутой кислотностью и чуть резковатым внутренним напряжением. Очень молодо, первично, фактурно. Больше энергии, чем элегантности. — 7 years ago

2005 vintage on De 20, 2017 at Sun River, OR with skillet roasted lemon chicken (Ina Garten). Tasted alongside a 1999 Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard to compare and contrast. Elegant and mature C-d-Pape at the peak of its life. Fully developed with a lot of great life left but also no need to wait to drink. This why we love C-d-Pape. Bought at K&L wine auction in 2017. — 8 years ago
