Nice, rich maybe still heavy as it is in its youth as most of Chateauneuf - a great classic and well known wine - needs time to get rounder - little spicy notes it is an intense wine - see you in a few years

90+ Quite pleasantly surprised on this one given some commentary on other sites. Opened a Magnum bottle and it is showing well. Deep purple color, plum and blackberry fruit, a hint of spice, silky smooth. I'm not sure how much longer this has left in the bottle, but I don't think it's a short life left. Time shall tell!

Fruity, light and dry - more of an every level CDP, but still quite enjoyable.

Medium fruit start. Good full mouth taste with a small tart finish.

Cherries. Red fruits. Herbs. Some spices. Earth. Alcohol presence obvious (14,5 abv) but balanced. Firm tannins. Long finish.
