Great year. Great old school wine. Lovely and grippy.

Dark red. Powerful dark fruit and pungent floral qualities on the nose, along with hints of licorice and succulent herbs. In a weighty style for the vintage, offering palate-coating cherry preserve and black raspberry flavors that turn sweeter as the wine opens up. Dusty tannins build steadily on a long, chewy finish that leaves bitter cherry and blueberry notes behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2019)

My first CdP. Only had a glass—would have liked to see how this developed throughout the evening.

Elegant text book CDP. Red and black fruit, dried herbs, smoke and savory notes are all there in perfect harmony.

Soft and broad with grainy tannins.

In terms of ripe fruit in wine, this is at the top end of what I can enjoy. But make no mistake, I could drink this all day.
