This was hands down the best wine I've tasted in a while. Half hour decant. In such a perfect place right now showing incredible balance and depth. Mouth watering on the palate and near perfect from start to finish. I don't hand out scores like this lightly (this is as close to 100 as I'd probably ever go) but this is deserving of every point. Spectacular wine. (1062 views)

Excellent wine in a perfect place (drunk from magnum). Secondary flavors coming through with a touch of tertiary, although it is holding up well. The wine is packed with desirable flavors and aromas but remains light on its feet -- never jammy or cloying or heavy. (952 views)

Decanted and poured, this wine gave an excellent to almost outstanding showing. The shows a wonderful combination of youthful and maturing notes the combine to give complexity and depth. Medium to full bodied on the palate with excellent length and balance on the finish. This is probably at or around its peak but should continue to drink well for many more years. (998 views)

This wine is drinking very nicely now.
Decanted and poured straight away.
Appealing red cherry colour with not too much difference between the core and rim.
Whiff of alcohol that blew off.
Slightly muted nose; more woody earthy rather than fruity.
Red berries, cherry, sweet fruit on the palate; slight bitter note, in a nice way, on the finish.
For my taste, better with food as the acidity contrast is very appealing.
Complimented the fresh ginger in my Chinese influenced chicken supper surprisingly well!

Bought EP and stored.

Decanted for an hour, came into its own after another hour-plus of slow drinking. Medium bodied. A subtle deep fruit aroma with a slight “pool floatie” smell. Rich cherry, lower acidity, like cherry lozenges. This is a subtle wine, that started to reveal more secondary flavors, especially licorice in the long finish, toward the end of the bottle. Patience is rewarded with this one. Drink or hold. (1257 views)

Another slightly underwhelming bottle from VT. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but I didn't detect much beyond an easy-to-drink forest-fruited beverage; there's more interest and panache from Grenache (for less money) from places like South Africa and Spain, and I didn't find any herbs or leather or any of the other things that can make CNDP so characterful. A pleasant, undemanding food wine I guess. (2936 views)

Couleur : robe rubis pâle dont le rubis tend légèrement vers le grenat – les bords du disque restent globalement aqueux / translucide même si un très léger début d’évolution brique commence à pointer le bout de son nez !

Nez : intensité aromatique normale, nuancé, pur avec un certain éclat. Globalement élégant malgré la charge alcoolique. Boisé frais / humide, garrigue, cerise, des fraises douces.

Bouche : l’attaque est élégante, digeste sur de la cerise.
Corps assez ample avec un certain volume, tanins de velours, milieu de bouche structuré à l’aromatique nuancée, subtile et développant une bonne complexité. On retrouve de l’éclat dans le fruit : cerise, fraise sucrailleuse, épices, quelques notes florales (lilas), herbes de Provence. C’est élégant pour un vin sudiste et bien équilibré - l’alcool (14,5°) ne se faisant pas beaucoup sentir vs. un Château des Tours Vacqueyras 2010 (titrant à 15°) dégusté quelques jours auparavant certes délicieux mais qui chauffait bien plus en milieu de bouche.
Finale digeste de longueur normale (+) sur des herbes de Provence, un léger fumé, de légères nuances de fleurs séchées et de la cerise.
Intensité aromatique: 7 / 10
Complexité aromatique: 8 / 10
Précision aromatique : 8 / 10

Well, CdP is not my favourite cuvee but this wine is from exceptional quality. Light red with watery rim but no signs of age. The nose is full of sweet strawberries and cherries, herbs de provence and liquorice. The palate is exactly what the nose promised, the grenache is a bit too present the first hour.

Really quite good. Balanced, especially with 90 minutes or so in the decanter. This really came into its own about halfway through the bottle as the spicy blackberry and kirsch began to balance out with leather and tobacco aromas and tastes.

Decanted for two hours prior to serving - big improvement detected from opening time to serving time. There is no sediment in the bottle. with dinner of soy/sake marinated flank steak, asparagus & rice. Deep red garnet color in glass. Lovely aromatics of dark red berries, currants and forest floor. The wine is definitely full bodied with good grippy tannins. Not overly fruit forward in anyway, but lots of long lasting liveliness on the mid and back palate - very long finish. Flavors that stood out for us were tobacco and leather. Much more open and accessible after getting a couple of hours of airtime int he decanter. We really enjoyed this wine! (4897 views)

Ruby red and translucent with watery edges. It's young and needs an hour to open at which point it becomes almost Bergundian, silkier and achieving equilibrium. Flavour is red currant with burnt vanilla and a splash of jaegermeister. After a further hour the jaeger has dissipated giving way to dried figs and a higher score could be warranted though its lacking body. (3823 views)

Fantastic CnDP, not a huge fan of the southern Rhone red styles, but this iconic wine delivers the goods. ... only medium ruby, medium viscosity.

On the nose, tightly coiled medium plus intensity, lots of red fruit, cherries, raspberries, plum, red licorice, blackberries and blood orange (yes), cedar, sandalwood, pepper, leather.

Palate matches nose, red fruits very much at the forefront. Medium plus tannins, acidity and body (not full) and complexity.

Tasted along side the Telegramme. The Telegraphe was the definite winner, and is worth the extra $50. My pallet was not up to par because of a cold that was coming on, so it is not fair for me to score this wine. Huge floral nose with some nice light ripe red fruit. On the pallet it was a typical delicious and elegant Telegraphe with light red fruit, strawberry, sweet pomegranate, honeysuckle, and floral characteristics. If I were to put a rating on this with my limited pallet I would give it 93 points. (4636 views)

Maybe a bit early. This was $26/glass at FT33 in Dallas. It paired very well with their lamb. Cherry and pepper on the nose. Slight licorice and pepper on the taste Already very smooth and integrated. Remarkably, to me, no sense of tannins; it did get better with time in the glass, so not from a bottle that had sat open.
