2017: Outstanding producer making another great wine from a tough hot vintage. Even this young there is such balance between primary and secondary flavors with impressive concentration. This is as seamless as Sangiovese gets - cherry fruit, acid, minerals and leather in such a smooth package - and will develop even more over time. $55 on sale, $70+ elsewhere. — 10 months ago
Just fantastic tonight. Truly singing and such a wonderful example of classic Bordeaux from a producer we love and have had the good fortune to visit. Paired with a grilled leg of lamb on a beautiful early fall evening. Classic nose, seamless on the palate, great acid. Finish is slightly thin but still really a great wine. So fun. Opened 5 hours before drinking, no decant. — 2 years ago
See several previous Delectable notes. Deeply coloured but not deep in palate - medium bodied. Liquorice and almonds, a juicy palate. Finishes with a skinnsy bitter note. Great with free range chicken legs. Probably best drunk young. From a highly reputable producer in GD Vayra. My last bottle of 6. — 14 days ago
One glass and I did not open the whole bottle. Still I am not disappointed. So far one of the best Chateauneuf-du-pape I had except for Rayas. I am wondering how it wilm evolve. Sor far we have dark fruits, a bit of spices and quite à long finish. I am also surprised that such a wine is pretty much unknown. — 2 years ago

Though I’m not enthusiastic on this producer, 1998 CdP consistently delivers magic. — 5 days ago
