Leather and overripe plum. Not entirely shot but showing fatigue. Nothing offensive but nothing great either. This ond more reason to not cellar CDP more than 8-10 years.

Rich spice cake, raisins, soft. Although it's neither "over the hill" nor oxidized, it's simple in its emeritus years – a sleepy sunset with gentle waves lapping at the beach. I generally prefer my CdP's at 10 years old and this is now nearly 18, and I just waited too long on this one.

(Domaine La Millière Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes) Dark garnet red color; big cherry and vanilla nose with an incense note; tight, with oak showing, plush but a little overripe, with plum, tangy black fruit and a hint of pepper; medium finish 90 pts.

Big and round - on the sweet side
Dark ripe Grenachy flavors - very good friendly.
Nothing complex but very easy to drink.
Bought from Premier Cru for pennies

Dark garnet red color; leather, vanilla taste with a hint of plum. Tannins have subsided. A bit of a boozy finish.
