Very nice, if a bit ripe and hot. Lovely aromatics. Nice bottle development.

Really beautiful - showing its age but still vibrant red fruit and cherry liqueur.

Nice, rich maybe still heavy as it is in its youth as most of Chateauneuf - a great classic and well known wine - needs time to get rounder - little spicy notes it is an intense wine - see you in a few years

Showing lots of age for a six year old wine, but still has a freshness to it. Very nice, but don’t sit on it.

Awesome wine, bold without being big, lots of minerality, crushed rocks, stony, raspberry preserves, incense and nice acid. Big fan. Can't wait to see how it evolves. Ribs killing it!

Lighter in body than expected. Good plum and black pepper notes.
