9/1/2019 - Cschall Likes this wine: 92 pointsPnP... Lots of fresh cherry on the nose... Extremely tight on the first glass, but as it opening the fruit became part of the profile with lead pencil & leather undertones. Medium + finish. Definitely a value. |

2015 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles VignesRed Rhone Blend more |
8/24/2019 - Cschall Likes this wine: 94 pointsSmoked meats overwhelm this on the palate with an earthiness that balanced the presence of dark cherries. I could not put my finger on the undertone of olives, but after reading the prior review, it is definitely there. This is young but worthy of opening. |

4/2/2017 - Cschall wrote: 90 pointsNot nearly as dark as previous bottles & lacking the complexity as well. It should have been a perfect pairing with Chicken Lo Mein, but was simple there. I may have been guilty of serving a bit too cold, but it still did not evolve as it reached room temperature. |

Dried cherries, licorice, leather & musty forest floor. Long finish with medium+ tanin and medium- acidity. Great pair with gnocchi in a red spinach sauce. |
