  Vintage 2016
  
  Vivino rating 4.4
  
  Founded in 1924, Chateaneuf-du-Pape is the southern Rhône’s most prized red. The vineyard is from the renowned Diffonty family.
  
  Full bodied, rich and mouth filling, with building tannins. It has a meaty powerful nose of dark fruits, ground pepper, subtle smoke and cured meats. A classic blend of Chateauneuf blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

  Deep purple. Medium plus on the nose with aromas of violet, black Cherry, jammy, pepper, tobacco, barnyard, vegetal. Developing
  Dry, medium acidity, high alcohol, high tannin, full bodied. Medium intensity with flavours of black cherry, pepper, vegetal. Medium finish.
  The wine is very good. Balanced, good finish, complexity and intensity. Drink now with further aging potential.

  Black fruit, slight hint of pepper and spices note.
  High tannin, medium acidity, medium body, medium to long finish.
  
  Good, but likely can improve with more aging.

  2 hour decant, too little. Made the mistake of serving it and was giving little on the palate and nose. It opened up at the 4+ hour mark where it turned into a completely different wine. Quite sweet, black and white pepper, grilled beef, vanilla, blueberry, cinnamon, cassis, licorice, chocolate, dark cherry, light espresso. Medium-plus acidity, dark ruby color. Great wine, just don't drink it now wait. Or decant 4-5 hours.
