Exactly what you want when you open a Chateau Neuf de Pape. Smooth, delicious and powerful with spicy nuances and depth. I felt from the tannins that it will not suffer from some additional age and is likely to get a bit better.

Over a year since I opened a bottle and nothing really has changed. The wine is a nice blend of apricot, pear, vanilla and a little wood. Very smooth finish. Drank alongside the Xavier red of the same year.

Similar to my notes of 6 months ago. White fruit and flowers on the nose, the palate was apricot, pear, vanilla and a touch of wood. Nice full finish. Most enjoyable.
