Community Tasting Note

  • lkilpio Likes this wine: 96 points

    February 11, 2024 - This great, traditional-style Châteauneuf-du-Pape is at a lovely phase at the moment, restoring my faith in the more matured wines of the region in general. In fact, this wine was outstanding for 3 years ago, but it is clearly even better now.

    The wine is displaying stunning aromas and flavors of ripe blackberries and plums, herbs, tar, iron, minerals and earth. Contrary to many other Southern Rhône wines at this age, the wine gives a fresh impression, and it is not having any burnt taste at all. The wine is still richly, sweetly and intensively fruity. The tannins have already softened and integrated, but the tannic structure is still firm. Consequently, this wine is very enjoyable now, but it is still having many years of life ahead.
