  Pnp and drank over 3 hours. A little muted on the nose, perhaps should’ve decanted. Deliciously smooth on the palate but not especially complex. Missing the aromatics of the best CdP. I have a bottle of the 2015 so I’ll decant that and give it a fairer chance.

  See previous notes. Visible bricking. Dark plum, tar, garrigue and hot stone. Medium acidity and nicely integrated tannins. Very light on its feet for 15.5% alcohol. Quite enjoyable with Korean bbq.

  Lovely stuff, mature and ready to go after a splash decant. Black and blue fruit, cassis, garrigue, graphite. Easy wine to like.

  A gorgeous Chateauneuf du Pape. We decanted for 90 minutes, which was the right amount of time for the wine to come into its own.

  Decanted for about 1 hour. That amount of air suits this wine well.
  Beautiful CdP - well balanced with perfect acidity. Leans a bit "new world" - which we like. Great wine.
