Perfectly drinkable, and, classic chateauneuf du Pape. Beautiful color and nose. No flaws. No sediment. Beautiful old world nose. Moderate tannin. Low acid. Medium alcohol. Medium finish. Should have plenty of cellar life left.

Incredibly smooth in the glass with a long finish. This is made right!
I think this will be even better in a few years but it’s certainly enjoyable now. There’s no big fruit or powerful tertiary hit it’s just about well-made, drinkable wine at the moment. Which is a good thing!

Decent. Very dark and opaque. Still young, but showing promise. Initial nose was a beast of cracked pepper but it opened to a nice complex typical modern CDP nose. Palate of the same. Has plenty of stuffing to improve over a decade. This wine really should be judged, not what it is today, but what it can be. Huge upside. Hold, and I would buy more. 90-93+

Needs at least an hour but then very smooth
