April 2024 Rhone Valley Tasting (K&L): I'll be honest: this is just too big, too monolithically fruit forward, with no sense of minerality or complexity to make this of interest for me. It's not undrinkable wine, but it is super boring. If you like ripe, lush, and round with lackluster acidity and structure, have at it.

Robe encore bien jeune,d'un grenat toujours bien visible;bouquet typique de l'appellaton avec des arômes de garrigue,d'épices (thym,romarin),de fruits noirs (cerise,groseille).La bouche offre un palais aux tanins fondus,avec une trame très élégante,une ossature assouplie mais sans faille.Longueur finale moyenne.Vaut surtout pour sa suavité et son élégance et son absence de lourdeur souvent présente là-bas.Un bel échantillon.peut encore tenir 5 ans sans problème.

Palate: Huge, full bodied with heavy mouthfeel. Typical southern rhone notes: sweet dark fruits, herbs - garrigue. Not much earth. Easy to drink but you can taste the high alcohol.

Acid: Low/medium

Tannins: low, if any

A wine for the wintertime/cold weather. 15.5% abv. As a pinot person i could only have a glass or two.

Dark purple/garnet Roast of prime rib, dark fruit Plum, black cherry, smoked meat, and tobacco Wow, great value. Great wine. Full-bodied, fine tannins, dry, strong acidity For me, like cuban cigars, CNP can be as disappointing as it is good. I wasn't expecting much, but I really like the flavor. I'll probably buy more of this

Purchased back in the day when I’d scarf up promising vintages as soon as released and popped into my GE Profiler 59 bottle fridge. Stored in excellent conditions 58-60 degree average, dark and quiet. Popped the cork on Christmas Eve ‘23. Allowed to breathe a few minutes, but no decanting required. Very little bitterness for a Rhône wine. Smooth, balanced, and wonderful. Drank half the bottle. Stopped and pumped for the night. Christmas Day (afternoon), was gorgeous and lovely dark fruit, not overbearing, what little bitterness that was there disappeared. Dry and wonderful. A very pleasurable wine. Under proper conditions could go more years, but great now.

My favorite of the CdP set. Rich and full fruit through the mid-palate. Long finish. Could wish for more on the nose, which to me implies it needs a bit more time in the bottle.

Great wine momentum. Could live its live in the cellar for a few years but it's damn delicious now. Not a big fan of 10+Y C9DP so I tend to drink them before that time frame... And I was right, thanks to the colder vintage this is super lively, nice tanin structure and acidity that preserved the fruit. No sign of tertiary aromas. It's super fruity, and bright. Red peach, black and red berry, powdered tanins, and lovely cocoa/chocolatey notes.

Color: Medium ruby. Only slight hints that it is not a young wine. Nose: Red fruit like strawberries. A herbal note, too. Mouth: Excellent expressiveness and length. Still fresh and with some grip. There is a slight aroma of charcoal. The alc. of 14.5% is well hidden but still a tad noticeable. I would drink up in the next 4 years.

A year and a half since the last bottle, and it had actually gained some earth. Previous bottles were all fruit but this bottle tasted like it had been fermented with some of the stems still intact, as there was a nice undercurrent of forest floor. Cherry flavors still dominated but the earth added another dimension and an old-world touch.

February 2022 - vintage 2016 - 95 pts. Both vintages are extraordinary - 98 pts. according to the WA Vintage Guide. Let's see which one is better.
🕐⏰🕙
About an hour in the decanter.
Well, I simply can't imagine a person who wouldn't like this wine! Sweet flavors, spice and acidity are soft and very well blended with flavors. Long juicy finish. It's my first impression, but let's start from the beginning with cold blooded ( I mean red wine color) and highly subjective assessment. Sweet aromas of red cherry, black cherry, plum, but also herbs and spices. Well I can add more and more aromas, but it won't do the justice. The smell is very magnetic, addictive, almost hallucinatory.
Taste - all kinds of black fruits are here. Also - herbs and spices. Long finish.
I could write more, but I have no time. 🙂

Purchased some fourteen years ago from the late , lamented Sams, probably from one of their lunchtime "deals" that cost me a lot of money over the years. Maybe I lose a couple of bottles through hanging on too long, but this is not one of them. An interesting contrast to all the pinots I have been drinking lately on the red side: so meaty and gamey, graphite and earth. Over the course of a couple of evenings it did soften into something gentler, but I liked its initial power.

This is quite a nice Châteauneuf-du-Pape that provides very good value for the price. It is fruity, supple, soft, pleasant and ready to drink even at the moment. It is displaying nice notes of dark fruits and berries, herbs and spices. This wine is very suitable for near and mid-term drinking, but it is not the best option for longer storage.

Same as last year's note: Dark fruit, blackberry, with a bit of earth and mineral. This is in a very good drinking spot and was a great value CdP. I'd say drink now but might remain interesting for years.

This wine has everything I love about CDP. Beautiful pure red fruit like raspberry jam and grenadine on the nose, and a fleshy, low-acid, very pleasing sappiness on the palate. This is the kind of wine I would pour for someone who has never tried Chateauneuf-du-Pape before, or to the [rare] misguided soul who claims not to like French wine. It's not especially profound or complex but it's very much a wine of pleasure.
