Bright ruby. Explosive red and dark berry scents are complicated by suggestions of fresh flowers, Asian spices and smoky minerals. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and rose pastille flavors that put on weight with air. Gentle tannins sneak in slowly and fold smoothly into the wineand#39;s sweet fruit on the strikingly long spicy, floral finish. -Josh Raynolds, Vinous

True to vintage. Open-knit, inviting fruit, pliant tannin, well rounded and checking a lot of boxes for traditional CNDP with a little age on it. The whole cluster character has really melted in here, more so than some other vintages I’ve tried.

Lovely floral, rose nose, with herbal and eucalyptus notes. Nose is really full and interesting. On the palate framboise and some licorice, tannins still a little stiff. All stainless steel/no oak.

Cocoa butter, cherries, and caramel. Alcohol tannin tends to overwhelm other slight fragrances/tastes.
