Bouquet with ripe yellow fruits and some almonds. On the palate the same, some butter and pleasant oak and bitterness. A beautiful and clean wine with good complexity. Ready now.
Beautiful bouquet with red fruits and some earth. On the palate ripe red juicy fruits, even the impression of some minerality. Ok acidity and some bitterness in the finish. Ready now and the next few years.
Still a bit sparkling in the start. Herbs, grasses and minerals, light acidity and soft bitterness. Nicely focused and dry. Especially the minerals ask for your attention. Medium finish.
Vegetal impressions in the bouquet. Also cherry yoghurt and strawberries. Same on the palate. The fruits seem to be a little unripe. The tannin is a bit grainy and drying in the finish. Give it a few years of cellaring.

Mature Cabernet bouquet with some bell pepper. On the palate red fruits, firm acidity and mature tannin with still a bite. Unfortunately the wine was not 100% fresh. No score.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Beautiful and rich bouquet with ripe fruits and garrigue. Also on the palate ripe fruits and herbs and spices. Beautifully round tannin. Early maturity and lovely drinking now and a future at least until 2020. This was a beautiful bottle.
Consistent with my note from earlier this year. A lot of sweetness, honey and ripe yellow fruits and also beautiful fresh acidity. I have to save a few bottles for later, but this is so lovely drinking now.
