Seriously amazing! 3rd time having it, still could rest a few years and drink solidly.

Too much burn from the alcohol. A primary example of why I do not buy CdP outside of the most traditional of producers. #reignitin

Good wine. Very round and smooth. Fruity. Found from my neighborhood wine guy for $28.

Terrific value at $30. This village is within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape growing zone but in 1936 they refused to join the AOC.

On opening, jammy, flabby, and overripe, but my fiancé really liked it. It transformed overnight, gaining earth, garrigue, and balance. I still wanted a little more acid and this probably needs some age or a long decant if you’re not into fruit bombs.
