Fresh bouquet on the nose. Aged leather, ripe prunes, tasty black coffee. As this wine ages, it just gets better and better. (115 views) | | | Tasted by stayhappy21 on 12/4/2022 & rated 91 points: Opened this bottle at Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine to celebrate my father's birthday.
Brownish-purple in colour, showing off its age proudly. Secondly notes of ash, graphites, wet earth were prominent in this well evolved CDP, with primary fruits still evident. Good stage of its maturity and drinking beautifully now.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
