My kind of CDP! PnP’d, well kind of, as I couldn’t get the cork out and had to chisel a hole and decant. Smoky nose with deep cherry fruit. Very refined, but heavy sediment. Drink very soon! — 7 years ago

Brambles, garrigue. Lovely already. 2015 is a vintage to go deep on CdP. — 8 years ago

Roger Sabon

Prestige Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Quite sweet. Plum but hint of vanilla extract and the minerality of typical CDP is a bit more muted. Tannic and medium bodied. Can def age longer to smooth out the tannins. — 8 years ago

Domaine de Cristia

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2015

Full rating to come but on initial opening, it's a little brighter and lighter than I'd expected based on what I've read about the 2015s. Great purity, acidity balanced with red and blue fruit. Has a touch of a woodsy element but in balance. Really great on opening and this is the basic CdP. Can't wait to try more of these 2015s. — 9 years ago

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2004

A good vintage. Coffee, Bing cherries. A little jam. Needs coaxing but a more than serviceable cdp — 10 years ago

On the brighter red, crunchier side of CdP. Tasty, but maybe missing some complexity and polish. Probably more interesting in a few years. — 11 years ago

Inaugural vintage and showing better than it did in August. Mostly old-vine Grenache from the era before the domaine began entirely destemming. This is big, burly, epic, and velvety CDP. Like hugging a fuzzy bear. — 11 years ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2011

Really looking forward to seeing how this CDP opens up. On the nose plenty of funk, yes, but as it blows off there are hints of black soil, mushrooms, dust, red fruit, and a slight floral aroma with potpourri and cedar that is beginning to rear its head. On the palate it's quite tight, but as time passes away so will the astringency. Rating will definitely increase as time goes on. EDIT- Day 2 and this wine is on point! Upgraded from 8.7 to 9.0. — 9 years ago

Good cdp, this 2014 is a lighter cuvee, others commented it is burgundian in style and I agree.
Nice raspberry palate, minerality with harmonized garrigue, good tannins. Great complement to food, it's a better wine with food. The garrigue blew off day 2-3 which I miss. A PNP is OK with this wine.

Clos Saint Jean

Nice ripe Grenache flavors. Just a little too much alcohol, for an entry priced CDP it works. — 9 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

Télégramme Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2014

Another beautiful liquid fills my glass. Tart cherries, cherry pie and a little almond extract on the nose. Nicely fruit forward with tastes of raspberries and blueberries, white pepper and spices. A nicely structured wine with an interesting finish that shows a little oak as well as pepper. An interestingly light CDP in my opinion. — 9 years ago
