Delicious. Fruit flavors are still fresh and ripe. Beautiful floral notes, herbs de Province, soy sauce, spice. Well developed, but I wish I had more put away. Still has years and years of life. Great, classic Chateauneuf. Decanted 3 hours before serving.

Medium ruby colored. Immediately upon opening rather restrained, but distinctly eucalyptus and blackberry flavors. On the palate seems quite restrained, almost austere right now. Not specifically recommended right now, but hopefully will open up in the decanter

2 Hour decant. Maybe not enough. From a half bottle.
Definitely a CDP but stuck somewhere between primary and secondary flavors.
