Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
i agree with the 9.3 rating for the 2019. was a bday present and very much liked. was pretty much what i want in a CdP (that’s my abbreviation)—-“big” with a stinky finish like “mothballs in my grandpas jacket in the attic” - would buy it for myself!

2019 vintage. On the old-school side of dry and dusty vs ripe and plushy. Leaner and meaner. Medium body with big grip up front and thinning out, bodywise, on the finish but still dragging the spice box all the way to the finish. 9.6.23.
