Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Rich, sexy nose leads a dark, brooding and brambly CdP punching way above its weight. Kirsch and stony minerals. Superb and great PV!
This was my 1st Coravin, wondering if any of you have seen this tiny leakage on cork. Did I inject too much Argon? When I opened the bottle 2 days later the pressure was high.

Shows some fruit and lots of black licorice. Opens up to more balance and some oak. Enjoyable but I've never found 2007, or earlier Sénéchaux, to be exciting.

Super savory and nicely put together seven year old.

Second night enjoying this wine--

Very nice chateuaneuf! Hazelnuts, olive tapenade, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and pomegranate. A little heat on the nose, but otherwise great aromas. Great color and very nice mouthfeel. Long taste and perfect tannins.

A good year but lacking a little acidity - thick prune and treacle good stuff

Hot damn, another banger! Licorice and cedar on the nose, brambly fruit and tobacco, but gently. Nomma nom!

2007 is showing really well right now!

Starting social distancing with something good! #chateauneufdupape #cdp #socialdistancing #domainedessenechaux #domainedessénéchaux #famillejmcazes #talesfromthecellar

Beautiful, robust and well rounded fruit. Over ripe plums, stewed prunes, bramble berry, raspberries, tobacco and brilliant complexity! CDP is probably my favorite wine. I’m glad I waited 10 years to open this. This wine easily has 10 more years of life ahead of it.

Food always makes CDP so good! On its own....OK.
