A gorgeous intense nose of plum, kirsch, violets. Quite hot and sweet with real depth of flavor. Quite primary still but opening up

This is rather delicious. Beautiful red fruit in the nose with dark plum and a hint of violet. Very pure and intense on the palate. Kirsch, some herbal notes intense berry fruits and real purity. Silky, and handles the alcohol well. One of the best of their recent vintages

Great CdP! Solid core of fruit with firm tannins. Drank better on day 2. Built for the long haul.

Awesome wine. Great balance, good tannins. Oh and the fruit is awesome after being open for 1.5 hours..

Gave this a 3 hour decant. Showed well. Dark fruit, savory notes. Quite good.

Gave this 2+ hours of decant. With that air, certainly elegant, earthy, and mineral driven. Next to the modern Spanish Grenache, this read much more of place.
