February 16, 2024 - Last of 6. Cork was perfect, but this was showing lots of dried fruit and mature aromatics on the nose. The palate had nice cherry and spice elements, but at least from my collection this one is nearing the end. Check in real soon!

I can’t score this wine.
It started out as a fantastic mature CdP with La Garrigue galore, but within 2 hours it reverted to something brambly and towards uninteresting.
Immediately after plop: 93-ish.
After 2 hrs: 80-ish. -

October 5, 2022 - Mmm, this is drinking so well!
Deep, plummy, spicy, spice-cake, pure and intense, Grenache-focused. There is a bloody, meaty, ripe and intense aspect on the finish, but this savory elements lay low compared to the sweet, pure, raspberry ganache personality from all the Greanache.
It has actually gained significant weight over the past 5 years. Wide open, screaming with a purity of fruit and garrigue, this is what makes Châteauneuf-du-Pape so great!
I really do think it is time to drink up now, as I can't see this improving. Fantastic now!1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 20, 2019 - 4th of 12. A pleasant easy drinking chateauneuf drunk with merguez sausages. Has aged well but not special. 3+/5

April 2, 2018 - Horribly damaged. Purchased at auction at winebid.com. How anyone could have inspected this wine and resold it is simply amazing.
Ugh
