Admittedly, I sampled this after having the 2007 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée da Capo last night. No comparison. This is a serviceable Châteauneuf-du-Pape with time to develop. Flavors exhibit a certain amount of fleshiness, which to me comes from prolonged yeast/lees contact. Good but not particularly refined.

Hasn’t developed much since our previous bottle in late 2019. Certainly a pleasant wine, and it’s mostly balanced between fresh berry notes, smoke, and anise. On the lighter side.

cherry and a bit of peach fruit, some earth and mushroom notes. Extremely well-balanced and good weight. Likely will improve over the next couple of years but no need to wait.
