  Very closed on the nose immediately after opening. This did develop a bit with air. Palate with good Pegau typicity and freshness but seems to lack concentration or length compared to other recent vintages I had (05, 14, 18, 19, 20). This was my least favorite of those. Wouldn’t seek this vintage out personally although it was enjoyable enough.

  Needed an hour decant. High acid. Dark brooding fruit and earthy. No need to open the next bottle for 2-3 years

  This wine was and it was not filling my pre-expectations. As expected, it was displaying beautiful notes of ripe dark fruits and berries, herbs, pine-needles, tobacco, wet undergrowth and barnyard. It was much more acidic and fresh than I had expected, which was merely a good thing. However, I had expected the wine to be more fruity, thick and concentrated on the palate. Instead, the wine now made a rather medium-bodied, classical and balanced impression. This is certainly not a defect, but it is anyway a deviation from my expectations for Pegau and for Châteauneuf-du-Pape in general.
  
  The wine is in an excellent condition right now: the tannins have resolved, but there is still plenty of nice and fresh fruit left.

  Absolute stunner. This is open for business after a couple hours. There is modernity here, but it's appreciated by me given all the earthiness and herbal spice. Best bottle to date for me. I just love this wine.

  Prime drinking window. Well balanced and not over extracted. Excellent fruit and fully resolved tannins.
