Popped and poured; no formal notes. This was showing its age tonight with overwhelming notes of leather, like a freshly oiled baseball glove. Behind that, however, was a bucket of desiccated dark and red fruits, spices, and damp earth. The finish was rich and almost sappy…but seemed to be all bravado as the energy waned as the wine sat in the glass. What structure was there in its youth has all but disappeared as both tannin and acid would be considered low. Drink now and enjoy while there’s still some life left.

A hint of the parent. Really funky nose. Opened into a classic Chateau nuff. Raisins. Figs. Lighter fare.

Absolutely bangin' Châteauneuf-du-Pape for the money. Kirsch, petrichor, dried lavender, Herbes de Provence, and dark chocolate ganache.

Picked this up at whole foods, first impressions kinda tight with hints of promise... Let's see how it does after it's open awhile .

This is classic CdP! Carries that intense complexity profiling ripe red fruit, spices (clove), dried herbs (thyme), coffee, cola, and other notes inbetween. Casually unpretentious satisfying wine, especially when paired with rich meat dishes. Cheers.

Given some time to open up, this CdP does deliver with a lighter body style. Soft cherry, touch of prune, lovely earthy-spicy aromatics and even spicier on the palate finish. Delicious wine, perhaps the 2014 #chateauneufdepape was a standout vintage for this Domaine.
