Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Dark purple and almost opaque. Briary nose with notes of herbs, plums, black berries, earth and more herbs. Good balance. Great finish. In a good drinking window.

This just keeps getting better. I'm presuming it is at its peak as '08 as a difficult year. Well done Laurence!

Absolutely drinking perfectly tonight, the 1999 CdPs always seemed less structured than other vintages around then, great acid balance, just a tiny bit of funk adds some nice complexity, excellent!!

Took over an hr to open beyond the damp barnyard nose when the cork was removed. Developed beautifully over the following 2 hrs until the wine blossomed. Very few noticeable tannins and a lovely blend of provincial spices, lavender and hints of leather. A beautiful 30+ second finish. This is one of the first cdp’s I’ve truly enjoyed. I do believe the 99 is likely on its way down but not by any means gone. I’d drink sooner than later.

A bit faded. Tarry and savory. But still a beautiful wine.
