This bottle was not as good as the first one but still an excellent chateauneuf that worked wonders with our diner. — 2 months ago

This was fun. The cork was blown, and I ran the wine through some gauze 😝 I know the store didn't cellar this very well, so it was a crap shoot. The wine was in fantastic shape and still in its adolescence.

Black raspberry jam and leather. Very smooth with a nice tannic bite at the end. Perfect alone, but it paired very well with my lobster bisque and steak frittes. — a month ago

Outstanding, soulful and rich, this is classic in every sense of the word for a Chateauneuf du Pape. Aged 14 years, this is a lot more primary and less evolved than I would have expected, which makes me love this more for the high quality that shows and it's ability to get even better with more cellar time. Full bodied, a silky and velvety palate feel, with gently intense fruit and spice, long on the finish. A whopper at 15.5% but it wears it well, perfect balance!

Deep ruby red core, ruby edges. Really pretty red hues. The nose is pronounced with black raspberry, black cherry, damson, with garrigue, garden herbs, subtle spices and roasted meat. The palate is med+ to full bodied with velvety tannins, plenty of alcohol, and a very balanced, rich, flavor intensity, and a long finish, easy going with a classic profile. — 9 months ago

A little orange bricking on the edge, this lovely aromatic 25-year-old Chateauneuf seems mature and ready to drink, still shows lively acidity which nicely lifts the red fruited flavors, good weight, lingering finish, should pair beautifully with the bison ribeye I will soon be grilling!! — 2 months ago
