Soft sweet cherry and strawberry fruit with slight oxidized aromas of stewed fruit. Very subtle earth/forest floor notes, otherwise this wine is rather one dimensional. Easy to drink nonetheless with a silky texture. Fully mature, should have drunk a few years ago, so drink now or very soon.

Un vin surfait et capiteux, on a poussé fort sur l`extraction. De la prune au nez assez intense. Un peu d`herbes et épices aussi. En bouche, on dirait du jus de prune, un peu de cassis, du poivre et du boisé. Finale longue mais avec pas mal de chauffe. Pas vraiment aimé!

- Violet color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of black currant, blackberry, cherry and strawberry jam with a medium/full body. Oily texture with a medium finish.

Very, very enjoyable save for some significant grippiness. Richly colored with a meaty, fruity nose. Zippy and alive on the palate with medium body. Semi-dry with aforementioned tannins. Longish finish and slightly green as it tails off (which I liked). Distinctly flavored with some complexity. You can do a lot worse on a Tuesday night.

We're with Tanzer and Parker on this one. One of the best value CdP's from the outstanding 2007 vintage. Everything to like, from dark garnet color to richness of the red fruit flavors. Not a hint of acerbic notes of a young vintage, just an explosion of well-balanced fruit, background tannins and a touch of balancing acidity. Long and very pleasant finish. Drinks incredibly well now, food-friendly and very approachable. Back for more.

Decanted a couple of hours before serving with T-Bone Steak, Baked Potato and fresh salad with vinagrette. A bit young. Lacking in complexity compared to others from the same vintage. It took a long time to get the fruit to really evolve, yet it seemed still a bit out of balance.

Nez charmeur de viande grillée et romarin Belle attaque franche sur le fruit gourmand et les épices. Vin puissant certes, mais la finale est trop chaude, déséquilibrée, on ne semble pas avoir évité le piège de la surextraction ou celui de la surmaturité. Revoir dans quelques années pour voir si l'ensemble peut s'affiner un peu. 86 pts

Scottsdale, AZ. Bought and had at a little French bistro. Paired with a beef carparcio and a lamb shank. A nice wine. Seemed young for a spectacular year

As others have noted, this is on the prune juice side of Chateauneuf. Not my favorite.

Nice CDP but a little acidic? Very chewy and nice wine.

my first CNdP that I bought. Nice soft tannins, noticeable fruit on the palate. I want to buy this again.

a nice bottle of wine, seemed more berry flavor in it than when I had it last time. Very enjoyable
