Juicy Grenache dominate aromas with red raspberry, strawberry and red cherry fruit. The nose has a nice herbal edge with notes of fresh and dried thyme plus a hint of soy. The wine has a plush mouthfeel with silky tannins. There is good acidity to buffer the fruit and a nice sense of minerality. — 8 years ago

Strong Eucalyptus on the nose, which stayed with the wine after 2 hours of decanting. Light tannins. Rose petals, dates and herbs. Delicious. — 7 years ago
Very fruit forward. Raspberry and mint with earthy herbals after. Medium tannin and fill bodied. Nose is heavy on Cabernet, almost like a Napa. Plums, graphite, and even salt on the nose? Very good. — 7 years ago
Fantastic Bordeaux! Best with Italian wine salami (salami blanco) and similar meat. — 8 years ago
A delicious wine that should show even more in the next few years. With notes of kirsch and black currant, this soft, but complex wine is delicious. It has slight herbaceous undertones that round out the fruit forwardness. Probably one of the better Chat. Du Papes from this vintage. — 9 years ago

Lovely medium ruby color and forward fruit on the nose. Surprisingly soft on the palate - I'd have liked more tannin and acidity but the wine is charming and enjoyable — 7 years ago
