Distinctive Chateauneuf, with plenty of wild mushrooms, wet earth, game and leather. This is not a fruit bomb; it has chewy tannins. But underneath is wonderful sweet fruit, as well as a subtle mineral caress. Something special... Wine Spectator

Smoky meaty deliciousness. Elegant and masculine. #CDP #msclassic

Wine soaked into cork. Very earthy and nothing like the 2000. Not a huge fan, but I have two more to consume. Hoping they are better.

After a few hours the oxidation blew off allowing for a nice fragrant nose with a mixture of leather and earth. Great structure with the tannins giving way to mineral and some subtle fruit. CDPs continue to not disappoint.

A little late for this bottle. Medium bodied fruit still there.

Outstanding. Lost some fruit, which is expected for age. That aside, beautiful balance.

Modern and clean but delicious. Highly recommend to drink now. Elegant and more feminine than I remember this had good but not great fruit and showed above average.

Mature. Quite a change from the 2000. This is a full bodied wine but seems to be near the end of its life.
