February 18, 2024 - This is over the hill. I really tried to make it work. I think all the bottles went through heat of something. I did not buy them new. I hope someone has better luck with them

February 26, 2023 - After I opened the bottle it seemed smoky and dry. I was worried about the structure and finish. It never really came around. The next day it was better but still not what I would expect from a CdP.

May 18, 2022 - À maturité mais se gardera encore quelques années . Un beau Châteauneuf , ayant désormais développé de la complexité , poli, et gardant une bonne fraîcheur pour l’appellation .

March 13, 2021 - Solid if unspectacular effort. Nose of cooked cherry and kind of earthy. Solid purple color and no bricking. Kind of a one-note palet. Red fruit and decent acidity. Not sure that it has any upward room for improvement.
