Oh wow. Big p, rich nose - berries, earth, garrigue; it felt like a full mouthful of flavor without taking a sip. And the first sip had everything the nose promised. Overpowering? I think not. Exactly right. A delicious melange of flavors. Add some dark chocolate and black coffee to the aromas. This wine was something else; out of this world.

(Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin) Nice cherry, plum and pepper nose; very tasty ripe cherry, berry, with good sap, depth, and sage notes; long finish 96+ pts.

Sexy! Drinking perfectly. All that you want from a CdP. Olive. Garrigue. Violets. Velvet tannins. Sill has a lot left.

WCC Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blind Dinner (The Chef's Table in Café Capriccio, Albany, NY): [Double-decanted for 35 minutes around 5:30pm.] Bright cherry nose. Rich spicy red fruit. The acidity is a bit high for me. Group #1 WOTN.

when first opened, the wine seemed overly tannic and closed. After breathing for two hours the wine opened nicely with aromas of spiced berries.
