Chateauneuf-du-Pape is one of favorite French wines and this iteration is certainly an excellent example. Full bodied, well balanced, smooth and so good with foods. Meats, cheeses, crusty breads, or just by itself. Plenty of fruit, very little tannins and the perfect amount of time in the bottle since this variety doesn’t really lend itself to aging. Really doesn’t need much decanting. — a year ago

Great blend of red fruit, herbs.....very thick and lovely on the palate. — 3 months ago
Surprised how well this wine is drinking now. A short decant is required but it’s drinking quite well but as the tannins integrate will surely improve with time. Still, nice ripe black fruit, dark chocolate, licorice, earthiness. Drinking very well and smooth. Nice medium finish. Excellent value! — 3 years ago
Tremendous. Earthy, funky, wild mushroom, forest floor. Also nose of overripe blue fruit and vanilla due to oaking. — 5 years ago
Nose: elegant yellow fruits.
Palate: yellow fruits. Jumpy acidity. Delicious. Some floral internal aromatics.
Long juicy finish. — 2 months ago

Buttery and just a bit edgy after four years of aging. Some apricot. It’s real nice but I wouldn’t wait any longer.
It works with soft cheese & fig jam. — a month ago
