There is a reason Chateauneuf du Pape is considered a classic. Aroma is fruit balanced by herbal notes of sage and tea. Fore palette is very fruity fading into bold tannins that leave the tongue dry and begging for another sip. — 20 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. No formal notes due to the setting. The 2018 is a fairly classic expression of Beaucastel with a mixed bramble fruit set, underbrush, herbs and spices in lovely balance. Good structure. While still on the youthful side, the 2018 is already showing well and was an awesome accompaniment with a wagyu burger. Drink now through 2038. — 13 days ago

Was the wine of the vintage and still going strong after 16 years. Beautiful garigue nose, blood sausage, licorice, very round. 3 bottles left. — 12 days ago

Medium ruby. Pronounced aromas of black and red cherry, black plum, blackberry, raspberry, vanilla spice, earth, leather, and smoke. Juicy dark fruits on the palate, accompanied by mint and licorice. Dry and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, medium acidity, and a soft, balanced texture. Despite its high alcohol, the wine feels harmonious and refined. The finish is long and elegant. A polished and sophisticated expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, emphasizing nuance and finesse. Best with 30 minutes of decanting. Ready to drink now but will only improve with age.
