9.5

Gorgeous nose of wet stones, wet earth, wild mint and more. A scene in nature type of nose. Stunning. 9.7 nose. Palate is killer but also needs some air as it’s juicy but also angular and backwards. But as it airs it gains a sweet lemon/lime intensity and that classic Defaix oily texture. Piercingly mineral finish. Air will make my score rise I surmise. — a month ago

This CdP seems a bit more angry and wild from being opened, a touch more structure than the softer 2000 Bosquet des Papes (2001 was a more tannic vintage), solid balance, also mature, 13.5% ABV, longish finish. — 2 months ago

A consistent performer that easily wins over palates. Each vintage more expensive than the last. — 2 months ago
