I’m in the 91+ range here. Had hoped for a more wow experience but this was simply solid and that’s ok. Not all wines need to be stunners.

80 Grenache/ 15 Mourvèdre/ 5 Syrah. Followed from bottle over the course of two hours.

To this wine’s credit, it presented exactly as it should. Warm 2015 vintage type profile which extracts the Grenache (ripe red fruits, sweet spice, little heat) but also accentuates/deepens the garrigue/potpurri profile. Alcohol pokes out a touch on the palate but it’s mostly juicy red berry fruit, little bit of dirty fig, herbal. On the whole, this is a very clean style of CdP that presents with no Brett/funk but also speaks to Grenache (as opposed to being a typical super CdP blend). Drink or hold another 3-5yrs for this window. — 11 days ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of cherries, raspberries, cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and wild flowers.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, toast, light vanilla, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, earth and black tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a hint of New World style. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward, powerful and engaging.

Nicely balanced and spicy, with a great mouthfeel.

This 6 year old is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. The high alcohol is well integrated by now. A great sipping wine.

A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre from 100 year old vines. Aged in new French oak barrels. A small production of only 3,500 bottles.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

The few bottles of CdP Blanc I tasted were all quite good. This is refined and well-crafted as well.

Nose of green apple, lime, peach, hint of honeysuckle. On the palate, it delivers a seamless balance of creaminess and freshness, with limestone mineral and saline thread weaving through. Good length with subtle green notes on the finish. — a month ago

Perhaps it was a mistake to drink this after a glass of the KS Barolo but seemed a bit overweight and lacking in acidity without the layers of complexity I expect in a #chateauneufdepape. It may have come down to insufficient time to aerate. — a month ago

20 yrs old, celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary. Was perfect. So perfumed, nose was the best part - brickish color, tannins resolved, but, enough bite to stay interesting — 4 months ago
