  November 8, 2018 - Pop and pour. Silky Grenache with light cherry and licorice on the palate and long finish. Pure, focused, and delicious.

  February 19, 2016 - Very elegant and refined CDP.
  Color was a transparent ruby of medium depth.
  On the nose aromas of cherry and garrigue. Very pure, very clean.
  Palate of medium weight, with similar purity of fruit as on the nose, soft tannins, medium acidity and good clean finish.
  A very enjoyable and refreshing CDP!

  July 6, 2013 - Gorgeous dark purple wine. Floral bouquet and kirsh liqueur jumping out of the glass. Long lingering finish. 100% grenache.
  
  The only thing is that is it worth the $100 I paid for it!!!! Last week I had a Spanish wine also 100% grenache at $17. It tasted as good but did not have that long lingering finish and lacked some of the kirsh liqueur.
  
  So I am giving the wine a 94 based on merit. But if I have to take the price in consideration, I will give it a score of 80 on value.

  September 23, 2011 - Aromas of biscuit and clay, like kiln pottery, alongside sage and cumin with inflections of arabica bean and iodine. Then this grows even more complex with raspberry liqueur and drafty cola. Provencal scrub comes and goes. This reminded me very much of the Grenache notes in Mme. Diffonty's 2006 Cuvee du Vatican Reserve Sixtine. Both are quite modern expressions of Chateauneuf-du-Pape; however, the Sixtine is a Grenache and Syrah cuvee. But both see new barrique, which gives the Cornelia Constanza a rich and round mouthfeel, as well as a savory, chunky mid-palate that slides effortlessly to the dusty, mocha-infused finish. Gobs of spice, gobs of character...gobs of Grenache. Just brilliant.
