Expectations were quite high with this wine, a natural precusor to a let down. Decantered for about 2 1/2 hrs before the first pour. Nose was intriguing and exciting, the first mouthful brought a smile and it didn't end until the bottle was finished. I normally enjoy big cabs but this one is an absolute winner. For now I am not sure I can suggest an improvement. I am not very experienced with Chateauneuf du pape's and there seems to be very little in the lables to distinguish one from another at a quick glance, but pay attention to this one. I believe there was one left at the local...there will be none left shortly...96
