  From MG. A true neuf with good spice and ripe Grenache, joyfull and sexy - both sweetness and freshness here, in a great place right now, I think. If there is such a thing as a typical Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this is it. No hurry to drink this..

  Au nez : fruits rouges...baies et fraises, épices, notes de torréfaction, sous-bois, et pierre mouillée. On dirait aussi...Pop-Tarts aux fraises ! Un vin souple aux tannins fins. Mi-corsé, gras et ample...harmonieux. Saveurs de fruits mûrs...réglisse rouge. Finale moyenne...soupçon d'amertume. Prêt à boire.

  Day 1: Pop and pour. Rustic wine featuring iron, roasted meats, pepper corn, sage and floral notes. A bit tight but very flavorful wine. Will let it get some air and revisit.
  Day 1.5: This is some serious old school CDP. Wish I bought more of this wine. Iron, earth, roasted meats, exotic spices, floral, raspberries and pepper corn. 93 points
  Day 2: Not as good as day 1 so based on that maybe an hour decant and enjoy but will check back on day 3. Day 2 features more spice, raspberries, black pepper and earth. It is good but just lost the excitment of day 1. 89 points
  Day 3: Getting similar results as day 2 but more heat. Should have drank this on day 1.
  Day 3.5: Wow has this changed for the better. It is amazing how wine changes over time. Floral, spice, soy sauce, raspberries, minerals and pepper. Wonderful balance and medium plus finish. While not as good as day 1 it is amazing. 92 points
  Recommendation: A roller coaster of a day 3 experience. Should drink well for a while.

  Solid bottle with great nose and lots of personality. Big and bold to cut through the hardiest of proteins. Drinking well now after some O2.
