  Super concentrated, with syrupy red and black fruit. Grenache screams with cherry tootsie pops. Peppery, garrigue, violets, lavender, vanilla and slight orange peel. This effort has lots of life ahead of it. A bit too much for my tastes, but glad to have experienced it.

  Juicy stuff, so open, fresh and free runing. Plenty of red berries, garrigue, stones. A very delicate style of neuf, true to the vintage, true to the domaine. No hurry to drink this, but certainly open for business.

  Ah, great purity of fruit, deeply pitched red cherry fruit, spices, just waking up really. Good depth of fruit, but there is finesse and elegance here, a really lovely Châteauneuf actually. Yes please.

  Very acidic and bit off, I will wait a bit for another bottle.

  very light; while it lacked intensity, a very pretty CDP with sweet plum and hot stone/minerality in it. finish was pretty clipped; a great starter wine to an evening
