Lovely, sweet mature fruit (dried redfruits), there might be a touch of Brett (but less than the 1995 Beaucastel I posted last week), suave and complex on the palate, lingering finish, excellent Chateauneuf-du-Pape at its peak!! — 16 days ago

Luscious is a good term. Complex too and lovely balance. — a month ago

A little orange bricking on the edge, this lovely aromatic 25-year-old Chateauneuf seems mature and ready to drink, still shows lively acidity which nicely lifts the red fruited flavors, good weight, lingering finish, should pair beautifully with the bison ribeye I will soon be grilling!! — 3 months ago

Black raspberry jam and leather. Very smooth with a nice tannic bite at the end. Perfect alone, but it paired very well with my lobster bisque and steak frittes. — 2 months ago

This bottle was not as good as the first one but still an excellent chateauneuf that worked wonders with our diner. — 3 months ago

This was fun. The cork was blown, and I ran the wine through some gauze 😝 I know the store didn't cellar this very well, so it was a crap shoot. The wine was in fantastic shape and still in its adolescence.
