Community Tasting Note

xyc Likes this wine:

Saturday, October 24, 2020 - Ruby, brick, lightening on rim. Stylish nose, both loamy and fragrant spicy alcohol clouds. Rich soft aged fruit on the palate, lovely mouth full. Iconic Rhone rough velvet on the tongue. So well balanced soft earth on the floor, fruit pudding mid palate, spicy in the alto range, a touch of heat.

I agree with comments that this is not typical Vieux nor CDP. New style. You may find it more enjoyable or less than what you expect.

It certainly will not age like the 1978 vintage or many other great CNPs.
In fairness, how many are aging wines for 30+ years today? Drink and be Merry for tomorrow, you will have a new great vintage.
