  Agree very much with Zazzaman’s last notes overall. Mild nose, with the familiar sweet fruit (plum and apricot) and enjoyable spices. Tannins were nicely soft, and the high alcohol content did not overpower the broad and lingering palette. This was the last bottle, and it seems to be in an ideal place, similar to the last two years, perhaps mildly improved. Good wine, could be a better value though.

  Reading the last few Community comments I approached another bottle with some trepidation. Decanted 3 hours. No age on rim. Sweet fruit and spices on nose, extending to palate, softish tannins and good finish. Luckily this bottle wasn’t dull and drab but it’s not great value and other CDP producers do better at this price point. Acceptable drink though.

  Boring, tedious, and flat — disappointing again. After giving it another chance on day two, into a sauce it jumped.

  I don’t think that is on the end of the drinking window as others have wrote in the tasting notes. It have more years to develop. Anyway in this time is not improved and is an average Châteauneuf du Pape
