This is the best Châteauneuf du Pape I have had all year which means little since we haven’t made it through January yet. We have tasted a lot of wines from southern France this evening which has allowed me to confirm my theory that this region drinks like Macallan - the older the better! There’s candied raspberry, sweet cherry, tobacco, leather, clove, and a little toast. My patience was rewarded - this wine is fabulous! Cheers

I really like this wine. It has a proud significant style that displays all the goodies of southern Rhone without becoming jammy and sweet. Can be kept i cellar for another 2-3 years.

Still powerful and vibrant! Last bottle should be left at least another 3 years
