  Medium dark red color. Modest meaty,sour cherry bouquet. This is a tame ,medium-bodied Chateauneuf. It is smooth, but lacks character. Somewhat mute and thin.
  I’ve had many Cores du Rhônes with more power and distinction than this Chateauneuf du Pape. Disappointing.

  This actually tasted better the second day. Upon opening there was a bit of a sour, citrusy note that I did not particularly like. After recorking and storing overnight this element was much more muted. Blue berry, blackberry, and kirsch notes predominate here. The mouthfeel is very creamy. The finish includes some iron and tobacco notes on the long finish. This wine performs above its price point.

  Pretty berry/cherry fruit with some subtle tobacco leaf. Medium acidity. Medium tannins. Short finish. Lacks complexity but I wonder if some of the other reviewers I have read had "bad bottles." 87+

  Nose is ok. Expected notes. Taste is empty and short. Finish is disappointing. There is a bit of cardboard.

  No character or body. I will save for the unappreciators. I would not even classify this as Tuesday wine.
