Community Tasting Note

  • Wino133 wrote: 92 points

    July 2, 2020 - first taste - has some nice subtle nose but lacking a bit more complexity. A little surprised considering the age of the grenache vines that go in to this.

    Thin on the after taste, for me lacking a bit of substance. The strength of the alcohol isnt immediately apparent, but really hangs around afterwards.

    Will update with notes as it evolves in bottle

    1h30 in, still not seeing much substance. It's smooth, drinkable, but probably not great value for money in thte scheme of Chateauneuf. Hope my collection of 2018 is markedly better!

    24h on, this is a bit better. A bit more volume on the body, though flavour is still a little shallow in some senses.
