| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.1 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 93 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by k H i L o on 11/11/2023 & rated 92 points: 92.5 :-) (358 views) | | | Tasted by k H i L o on 9/13/2023 & rated 92 points: Ah, super ! Moitié rock'n roll moitié jazz. (520 views) | | | Tasted by ploher on 2/4/2023: Fruit compote, overripe strawberries, cigar ash; soft and plush on the full bodied palate, despite 15 abv no sensation of heat; fresh and spicy with polished tannins, good intensity and length. Lovely sweet fruit here. 17/20 (852 views) | | | Tasted by Chrisinroch on 8/7/2022: It’s very soft & plush with plummy fruit. It’s fine. Just not my palate. (1322 views) | | | Tasted by ericpoh1980 on 5/16/2022 & rated 91 points: Deep ruby. Medium on the nose, very strong barnyard, horse saddle, meaty aromas (Brett?), pepper, dried black berry, tar, leather, medicinal, vegetal, dried herb, earthy. Fully developed. Dry, medium plus acidity, medium tannin, high alcohol, full bodied. Medium plus intensity on the palate with flavours of savoriness, dried herb, dried black cherry. Finish is medium plus. It is actually very good, but I can’t get pass the really strong barnyard aroma which leave this slight aftertaste. Defective? Brett fault? See my subsequent review under comments. (1331 views) | | | Tasted by Chrisinroch on 3/15/2022: Totally integrated and mature. Drink up. (1291 views) | | | Tasted by VinhoVerde on 3/3/2022 & rated 92 points: Medium to dark red color. Soft ripe mature fruit and spice flavors. Light tannins in its long finish. Enjoyable now, it will nevertheless hold, and possibly evolve some more for 3-4 years. (1268 views) | | | Tasted by jcr2000 on 12/22/2020: Accessed (1527 views) | | | Tasted by Animalmom2 on 7/18/2020: Massive CNDP drank with Duck Confit on a Sunday afternoon. Great value at the price point, fruity and almost a bit dolce.
Worried I had left it late, not the case. Enjoy now (1413 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 5/29/2020 & rated 91 points: Rich, intense, extracted, very concentrated, notes of kirsch, hints of alcohol, sweet grenache speaking - a manly wine, typical of the domaine and also of the vintage, allthough mostly the first. No signs of fatigue, still, it's a wine for the Emperor of Wine, from his heyday - the times are a changin
#Kandestederne (1997 views) | | | Tasted by winejnky on 2/9/2020: This bottle definitely showing some signs of age; strong barnyard nose and hints of wet cardboard which thankfully blew off after 30 minutes. Also some thinness and hints of stewed tomatoes, but offset by rich blueberry and kirsch fruit flavors, a bit of smoke and light tannins. (1515 views) | | | Tasted by dougie on 11/30/2019 & rated 92 points: Going strong. A long ways to go. Beautiful and big. But, smoothing around the edges. (1495 views) | | | Tasted by winejnky on 11/26/2019 & rated 92 points: A little thin perhaps, yet still tannic and chewy, showing black cherry and licorice, with alcohol and some oak noteably present. This bottle was still in great shape and had plenty of life ahead of it. Impressively better than a peer 2005 CdP consumed 11/28. Two hour decant. (1205 views) | | | Tasted by dougie on 4/29/2019 & rated 92 points: Time is helping this wine. Wait a few years for next one; seems like 2025 looks good to me for last one. (1363 views) | | | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 11/11/2018 & rated 90 points: The aromatics with this bottle are more muted than one that I had earlier this year. The wine is very mature with some black cherry and other dark red fruits along with good acidity. I can still feel the tannins from this vintage and the alcohol level at 15.5% is heady. A nice CdP, but not spectacular. I would say these have a few more years left in them, but I don’t think they will improve. Actually, they will probably decline from here. (1543 views) | | | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 3/7/2018 & rated 90 points: The wine has an orange rim and nice aromatics with some blue violet notes. On the palate, it has blueberries, concord grape (seems unusual for a CdP), graphite, garrique, and still some drying tannins on the finish. But very pleasant to drink.
I am enjoying the 2nd half of the bottle tonight and it is holding up quite well, but I did lower the score a notch. It is a good, but not great CdP. (1930 views) | | | Tasted by Roentgen Ray on 3/3/2018 & rated 92 points: Graphite, blueberry, raspberry, textured tannins, moderate structure, and aromatic. (1779 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynJ&O on 1/15/2018 & rated 92 points: great balance. Would not have guessed CNP if blind. Everyone loved it. (1883 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 11/13/2017 & rated 91 points: Opened by mistake - tasted over two days. It is rich, but also cool, tight and quite vibrant, very concentrated. On day 2, you sense very distant hints of oxidation ... tannins are quite pronounced. Leave this be a couple of years. 91+ (1951 views) | | | Tasted by Chrisinroch on 7/23/2017: Very modern and smooth. No funk. Not mind-blowing, but Tasty and well made. Paired w coq au vin nicely. (2061 views) | | | Tasted by David J Cooper on 7/17/2017 & rated 92 points: Drank for my birthday, A really nice CdP in it's secondary stage. Earthy funky red and black fruit. Long tannic finish. Should go another decade. (1666 views) | | | Tasted by dougsmith on 5/16/2017 & rated 90 points: Deep ruby color. No detailed TN taken but elements of dark fruit compote and damp leaves, a touch of heat. Full bodied on the palate with a long finish. (1812 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 3/13/2017 & rated 92 points: Popped and poured. Very good indeed, with a solid, juice, clean and fresh fruit, a wine in great harmony, speaks of the superb vintage, still very young with plenty of tannins at the end, but if you like them young and fresh, this is open for business as of now. (1958 views) | | | Tasted by brubron on 9/24/2016: Fabulous! (2236 views) | | | Tasted by dougie on 7/23/2016 & rated 91 points: Kind of clunky at the beginning. Became more defined throughout the evening. After 5 hours, light blueberry emerged and made it quite beautiful. 90-93 (2071 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Domaine de la Janasse Producer website | Producer page on Importer websiteRed Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
