Nez charmeur de confiture et de garrigue. Bouche large et ample, avec un profil aussi épicé que fruité à ce stade, il a digéré le gras de jeunesse qui en faisait une bombe de fruit. Un vin généreux et gourmand. Il fait 15% d’alcool, mais on le sent très peu, grâce au fruit et à la fraîcheur typique de ce millésime béni. Un vin à maturité, délicieux. La longueur moyenne l’empêche d’obtenir un ou deux points de plus. 92

Bel naso. Buono in bocca. 15% ben controllati e per nulla fastidiosi. Non molto complesso. Rapporto qualità prezzo sfavorevole. Forse aperto troppo presto, anche se non ho percepito un potenziale futuro qui dentro.

This deep-to-opaque crimson Châteauneuf favors the ripe side of the spectrum, with intense aromas and flavors of kirsch liqueur, wild berries, herbes de Provence and graphite. Fresh, full-bodied and firmly tannic, it is a wine with significant structure. The alcohol (listed as 15%) remains in check at a serving temperature of 60° Fahrenheit, a temperature which also accentuates the wine's freshness and fruit. Solid in the middle and concluding with impressive length, this is an extremely well-made Châteauneuf which should have substantial longevity. Drink now-2026.

To my liking drink within a year. Fruit already coming off and with high alcohol levels you may end up with just that if waiting too long.

All strawberry jam and green stems at first, with heat on the finish. Did come into balance after about 90 mins., with a nice earthy aspect.
