March 29, 2023 - First two of four bottles I bought recently. Both bottles and corks are in perfect condition. Medium to dark garnet colour, some sediment. Roasted red berries, fresh and dried cherry, cassis, dark chocolate, cedar, tobacco, earth, intense spice, and cinnamon, with lively acidity, partly resolved tannin, and very good length. Intriguing, tannic, roasted yet sweet finish, with great persistence. Great with pizza and with pasta. Some bottle variation, one bottle is fresher and more youthful than the other, in particular the fruit (less roasted). The score reflects the better bottle. Drink now.

December 22, 2020 - Terrific showing. Lovely sweet fruits, fully mature and complete. Went great with Grilled Rack of Lamb and Couscous.

November 18, 2018 - Second Sunday Group: 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Our house): Courtesy of Marty. Hints of bouillon and worcestshire, this bottle is a bit over the hill. Better on the palate, with nice cherry fruit and sandalwood notes. Would love to get a taste of a representative bottle as this should have been outstanding.
